It seems like Pinterest is booming with smoothie recipes. I’ve pinned several myself, but I can’t say I’ve found one I like more than this one. With the possible exception of the spinach smoothie (that I haven’t tried), I don’t think I’ve found a healthier one either. I’m currently using Peanut Wonder, an all natural, low fat peanut spread that I got at the local natural food store. I’ve also had great luck with powdered peanut butter from http://bellplantation.com . Of course, you can also use your favorite natural pb too. As a sweetener I’ve used honey, agave nectar, stevia, and, my personal favorite, raw sugar. The best thing about this smoothie -the kiddos love it!
2/3 c to 1C Greek yogurt
1 banana
2tbs Peanut Wonder, powdered peanut butter or natural peanut butter
2 heaping Tbs cocoa
2 Tbs coconut oil
2 Tbs ground flaxseed
2 Tbs sweetener of your choice (taste test to see if you want more)
1/2 to 1 cup almond milk or regular milk ( I use almond milk)
1 cup of ice
Blend it all up and drink it down! Yum!
When you say local natural health food store, do you mean here in Berryville?
Mark of Health has coconut oil. I haven’t checked for the Wonder Butter.
