Green Smoothie with Peanut Butter & Banana Recipe Ingredients

Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is surprisingly filled with health benefits. It is high in protein and healthy oil which can help with diabetes, weight loss, and Alzheimer’s disease.

No food is perfect, though; there are some cautions with peanuts. Hopefully, you are not one of the 1% who is highly allergic to peanuts.

Make sure you are using good peanut butter. Read the label. Natural, old-fashioned organic peanut butter with no hydrogenated fats and sugar is best. Choose peanut butter that contains only peanuts and salt. This kind is full of peanut flavor doesn’t contain additives and is better for the environment too. Refrigerate it and turn it upside down in the fridge so the peanut oils and solids can be re-mixed.

This is good peanut butter with no unhealthy additives and is organic too.
Smucker’s Organic Creamy Peanut Butter

I am a big fan of chunky peanut butter cause I like the crunch: Smucker’s Organic Natural Peanut Butter-chunky.

Spinach

Spinach was a superfood even before there was the term superfood. I’m referring of course to Popeye the Sailor Man. One can of the green stuff and he turned into muscle popping tornado of energy. Even without Popeye’s recommendation, spinach contains more nutrients per calorie than any other food. It is loaded with vitamins like A, K, D, and E and a host of trace minerals and is a good source of omega 3 fatty acid.

Banana

Bananas are healthy for you and that’s a good thing since they are the most popular fruit in North America.
Everyone loves bananas. There are more songs, jokes, and silliness with this food than with any other plant on earth. Bananas are superfoods!

Clean Water

It is important to have some good water to help make this smoothie.

Use the Best Water to Make Your Green Smoothie. It is an upfront cost but it has saved me a lot over the years. Here is the water filter that I am currently using and I am happy with it. The only way to remove fluoride from your water is with a reverse osmosis system. Some systems are better than others. When I did my research this is the one I decided on.
