One thing that summer is not kind to is bananas. It seems they are perfectly yellow one day and brown and gross the next. My solution is to put the overripe fruit into a zip lock bag, and toss it into the freezer. Then when I'm craving something sweet I toss them and just a few other ingrediants, and voila, you've got a smoothie that's healthy enough for breakfast but satisfying enough for dessert. It's also a healthier summer treat for kids...just make sure they wear an apron if they make this themselves!
Ingredients:
- 1 to 2 frozen bananas
- 1/8 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- Chocolate syrup (optional)
It's so simple. Just put the first three ingredients in the blender, and blend till smooth. The banana to peanut butter ratio is approximate, and it always changes a bit depending how big the bananas are. Same with the milk. But that's a good starting point, and I recommend just doing a taste and adding more peanut butter if needed. Also, don't pour all the milk in at once...depending how thick you like your smoothies, you might find you need less milk. Enjoy!
