Peanut Butter Smoothie

We’re all looking for ways to make our smoothies more exciting, more nutritious, more flavourful. Well the addition of peanut butter along with your favourite ingredients will make this a satisfying and healthy breakfast or snack option.

Nutrition Note: Boost your breakfast smoothie with the healthy fats, the protein and the fibre that natural peanut butter contains. And why not try baby spinach leaves added into the mix? It will give a lovely green colour, and added nutrient boost and we’re sure your kids won’t even notice.
