Super Yummy and Healthy (Shhh!) Shake Recipe

During the summer months, nothing sounds more refreshing than a nice cold shake!  This shake is a healthy way to enjoy a refreshing drink without the added calories of ice cream.  Pureed bananas take the place of ice cream for a healthy alternative!  Also, the spinach adds tons of nutrients and you can't even taste it!! We use the Vitamix Pro 200 Blender for these, but a regular blender works too!


  Super Yummy and Healthy (Shhh!) Shake 

Ingredients
  • 2 cups chocolate almond milk
  • 2 frozen bananas*
  • 1 handful baby spinach, washed
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
* The best way to freeze bananas is to peel them, break them in half or thirds, and put them in a freezer bag.  This way if you have bananas that are about to go bad, or if your child only eats half of a banana for breakfast, you can just keep adding bananas to the bag and freezing. 

    Directions  
    1. Add all ingredients to a blender or Vitamix.
    2. Mix and enjoy!
    (Servings: 2)
