Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1559934200473{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}"]It's finally, finally, finally spring! And slapping the sunblock on the kids and making lemonade on the weekends is a welcome change to winter we just had. (Someone who does not agree with me? Our dog. Poor Bruce Wayne, he would much rather summer was a quick flash of maybe a day or so. He missies the snow.) 

When the weather finally does heat up, my Ninja gets a lot more use with smoothies than soups. And this Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie is no exception.

This Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie is so easy and super yummy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="10401" img_size="full"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text="Plus, what's better than a complete, fueling mini-meal to get you out the door and on with your day?" font_container="tag:h2|text_align:center" google_fonts="font_family:Josefin%20Sans%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1559933718060{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}"]It's one of those recipes I think you'll keep coming back to again and again. I know I do.

Plus, from a prediabetes perspective, this Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie hits all the right notes:

• Source of protein

• And a whack of calcium, magnesium and potassium

Give it a try and I think you'll agree: this one is worth keeping on the recipe rotation.

Want to change it up?

Go for almond milk instead of cow's milk and almond butter instead of peanut butter for a super nutty taste.

Need more chocolate in your life? Add some cocoa powder for a hit of. cocoa-goodness and antioxidants.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="9636" img_size="full" onclick="custom_link" img_link_target="_blank" link="https://aprilsaundersnutrition.lpages.co/how-many-carbs-should-i-eat/"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1559933890479{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}"]This smoothie is a go-to for me when I'm feeling a bit rushed or need a snack - and don't want to do anything too complicated.
