Peanut Butter Banana Grape Smoothie

I love smoothies, and here’s my new favorite. Full of healthy ingredients, this sweet, creamy treat is filling and perfect any time of day. Don’t skip the Greek yogurt—you’ll find it adds a richness that regular yogurt can’t match. The key to this smoothie is frozen fruit (you don’t need ice that can dilute your smoothie). Peel and quarter bananas; pick and wash red or black, seedless grapes. Place fruit in separate freezer bags for ease and convenience.


All natural, no added sugar, healthy—just perfect.

Peanut Butter Banana Grape Smoothie

¼ cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt (I prefer Fage)
1 banana (4 quarters)
1 generous handful frozen grapes (red or black seedless)
1 heaping tablespoon natural peanut butter
½ cup milk of your choice (I love fresh from my hometown dairy. Don’t feel guilty using whole milk—it’s only ½ a cup.)

Add all ingredients to blender, and puree until smooth. This will be a THICK smoothie. Makes one generous, decadent, naughty-tasting serving. You won’t believe it’s actually good for you.
