Go-To Green Smoothie: Peanut Butter Banana Spinach Smoothie

Just 5 simple ingredients are all you need for this delicious, go-to green smoothie. We love this peanut butter banana spinach smoothie so much! Such a simple way to get more greens into your diet.

After my 1 week postpartum post went up on, I feel 100% better!! I am not longer living in bed, but getting to enjoy being around all my kiddos and husband. It’s the little things, like watching them have massive LEGO parties on the living room floor, that brings me a whole lotta happiest. Just being WITH them is the best.

Another thing that brings me happiness? Getting back (slooooooooowly) into the kitchen. I haven’t actually cooked anything yet. Jacob has taken the reigns and cooked all of our breakfasts and lunches (and cleaned and laundry – the man does it all!), plus we have had dinners brought by friends every night since we’ve been back, which is so nice! But I do miss being in the kitchen, so today I’m easing back in with our go-to green smoothie. Partly because the spinach in the fridge is on its last leg, but mostly because it is so dang good!

Delicious green smoothie

Don’t let the green color scare you away. This peanut butter banana spinach smoothie tastes like dessert. Just 5 ingredients leave you with a creamy, peanut buttery-banana goodness you won’t be able to stop slurping up! We usually split this entire batch between the 5 of us, 2 adults and 3 kids.  I’ve even made it when the kids were away and Jacob + I enjoyed massive mason jars full of green smoothie.

Kid friendly drinks

This green smoothie is incredibly easy to make, fun for kids to help with and tastes delicious. The coconut milk adds an extra level to the creaminess, along with extra staying power from the fat.  If you’ve never tried full fat canned coconut milk in your smoothies, give it a try!  It’s all I use and I absolutely love the result. I hope this peanut butter banana spinach smoothie becomes your go-to green smoothie as well!

Ingredients for your green smoothie
