After School Smoothie

Ciao everyone!

So, I don't know about how this goes down in your house, but let me tell you something about mine...

When people get home from school around here, there are a few inevitable occurrences that will take place:

1- Someone will be eating a banana
2- Someone will be getting a lovely spoonful of fresh peanut butter
3- That same someone will be combining them in a very happy bowl and become a much more amiable person thereafter;)

Now, if I am that someone, the likelihood of banana vs. apple is about a 50/50 chance.

If my sister is that someone, the likelihood of banana vs. apple is pretty much 100% banana. Every time.

But with all this talk I've heard about the amazing nutritious qualities of green smoothies, I was left with no choice but to think about making a new creation:

The After School Smoothie

makes-1

Ingredients:

Lots of fresh spinach

Half a medium banana

Half a medium apple

About 3/4 cup non dairy milk

1-2 tablespoons peanut butter

Optional: chia or flax seeds (no difference in flavor; just a nutritional boost)

Directions:

1) Stuff as much spinach as possible into the blender. Slowly pour milk over it. Blend.

2) Add rest of ingredients. Blend.

3) Enjoy:)

Ciao for now!
