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.   If you enjoyed this recipe, here are a few more baby/toddler smoothies you should check out: Apple Banana Smoothie PB&J Smoothie "Vanilla" Shake No Banana Green Smoothie
