Peanut Butter & Chocolate "Green" Smoothie | Recipe


                        

Dessert for breakfast?  With this delicious Peanut Butter Chocolate Smoothie, you can have the taste of a decadent dessert while also adding a jump start your day with tons of nutrients!   Loaded with fruits and veggies, this green smoothie looks anything but green. Perfect for kids, picky eaters and health-nuts alike!  Don't let the massive amount of produce that is packed into this recipe fool you - the end result tastes just like a smooth, chocolate-y peanut butter shake.  My daughter and I enjoy one every day and she loves it!  Just blend together the ingredients listed below until smooth and creamy, adding the peanut butter last. The key to this smoothie is using a high-power blender, like a Vitamix or a Nutri-Bullet.  (Regular blenders won't cut it - you'll be left with a chunky shake instead of a smooth, creamy blend.)   You'll feel good knowing you loaded up on several servings of your fruits and veggies for the day.  Not to mention the energy you'll have to kick start your morning!  Enjoy!  

Ingredients:
5-7 slices of frozen peaches or whole strawberries
small handful of blueberries
small handful of raspberries (optional)
large handful of spinach (about 1 cup)
large piece of kale
1 cup Silk Chocolate Soymilk (or more as needed)
1-2 heaping tablespoons of Natural Peanut Butter

Blend all of the ingredients together until smooth except for the peanut butter.  Once everything is blended together, open the blender and add your desired amount of peanut butter.  Allow the blender to whirl the peanut butter into the rest of the smoothie for about 20-30 seconds and serve.
