During periods when I struggle to get enough leafy greens in my diet, I lean on this shake. I’ve been making this shake for probably the last 5 years because it’s a quick way to get a healthy breakfast in before the day gets busy. I feel full but not sluggish when I drink it routinely. I also will sometimes add a little matcha powder in for a slight jolt of healthy caffeine. What’s more, the flavor is amazing, it tastes almost solely like peanut butter and banana so it’s easy to drink! This smoothie is a great way to start your morning, especially because there are only 3 main ingredients in this recipe. When made correctly it’s very smooth and creamy yet not too heavy. If you have kids they will love it too and it’s a great way to get them to eat their greens!

Recipe Variations

Can I Use This Recipe as a Meal Replacement?

Yes! This recipe works great as a meal replacement for breakfast especially. Frankly it serves as a rather well-balanced meal. You have good protein from the peanut butter, good fats as well; you’re getting healthy carbs from the spinach, and plenty of potassium from the banana. Add a little matcha powder and you’ve got a great coffee replacement as well if you’re trying to limit your intake of coffee. Like I said, I’ve been drinking this for breakfast for years and I’ve noticed that my energy levels are much higher and I don’t feel hungry or sluggish! Give it a shot and let me know how it works out!

Health Benefits of Spinach

The main ingredient in this recipe which makes it healthy is spinach. That’s why we are going to take a look at a couple of the health benefits associated with spinach.
