If you are looking for a way to get in some greens but are not sure if you like the taste, this shake is for you. Packed with greens you get a powerful nutritional punch as food sources of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, & Vitamin K, folate, manganese, Vitamin B6, riboflavin, magnesium, potassium, and iron, and a good source of calcium and Vitamin E. The peanut butter and banana take the center stage for flavor so you really don’t taste the greens. Give it a try and add your own flavors to it!
Peanut Butter Shake
Ingredients:
- 2 cups kale or spinach, fresh
- 6 oz vanilla Greek yogurt
- 4 oz almond coconut milk
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 TBSP peanut butter
Blend kale or spinach with the milk first to get it thoroughly blended. Then add the other ingredients and blend.
As an alternative you can use a vanilla shake mix such as Juice Plus Complete shake mix in lieu of the vanilla yogurt. It is also okay to substitute other milk products such as low-fat milk, almond, coconut, soy, or cashew milk for the liquid.
If you use a fresh banana, add 3 ice cubes to make it cold.
Enjoy!
