This recipe is for 6 month baby & up
As a mom of 2 I am always looking for quick, yummy, healthy snacks that both my kids enjoy and this one is always a winner! A PB&J smoothie is a fun, nutritious twist on the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich, transformed into a delicious and wholesome drink perfect for kids. This smoothie captures the beloved flavors of peanut butter and sweet berries in a way that’s creamy, smooth, and refreshing. Not only does it offer kids a familiar flavor combination they’ll love, but it’s also packed with essential nutrients that make it a great choice for breakfast, snack time, or even a healthier dessert option.
This smoothie is quick to make, requiring only a few minutes and a handful of ingredients, making it an ideal choice for busy mornings or snack time. Packed with essential nutrients: strawberries provide vitamin C and antioxidants, bananas offer potassium and fiber, and peanut butter contributes protein and healthy fats. Together, these ingredients create a deliciously smooth and creamy smoothie that’s not only tasty but also supports healthy growth and development.
One of the best things about a PB&J smoothie is how easily you can customize it based on dietary needs or taste preferences. Kids can choose their favorite berry combination, and for an extra boost, a handful of spinach can be blended in without altering the flavor. Adding chia seeds or flaxseeds can also increase the fiber and omega-3 content, making this smoothie even more nutritious.
What you need:
Substitutions:
Banana: I don’t recommend changing the banana in this recipe
Strawberries: Try swapping for a different berry, like raspberries
Peanut Butter: Substitute the peanut butter with any other nut or seed butter, for example sunflower butter or almond butter
Non-dairy milk: You can use any non-dairy milk of your choice, like almond milk, cashew milk, soy milk, oat milk, cow milk, etc.
