Tip:

If you like your smoothies cold you can add ice, but for babies I don’t recommend adding any. For toddler or older kids you can add a little ice. Depending on how much ice you add, you might need a little more liquid.

What you need:

A Blender

Ingredients & Substitutions:

Banana- The bananas provide a natural sweetness and creaminess to the smoothie, I don’t recommend replacing it in this recipe.

Peanut Butter- This is a great source of healthy fats and protein, if you have a little one who has a peanut allergy, try swapping it for sunflower seed butter, almond butter or tahini. Whatever nut or seed butter you prefer will work.

Non-dairy milk- For this recipe you can adjust the milk to your preference. You can choose cow milk, almond milk, oat milk, soy milk or any non-dairy milk you prefer.

Cinnamon- The cinnamon is needed in this smoothie, it gives you the full snickerdoodle flavor. I don’t recommend removing it.

Vanilla Extract- I love the added vanilla flavor, but you can omit if preferred.
