Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Happy Thursday fellow peaches!  I hope you enjoyed our little jaunt to Graceland yesterday.  After that  trip, I've decided I must own a pair of blue suede shoes.  Sooner rather than later.

For those of us who resolved to eat healthier in 2012, here's an alternative to the decadent pie I posted earlier in the week.  I nicknamed this smoothie, "The Elvis" and it's so good that I actually made two batches in one day for the boys and I.  We put them away like it was our job.



Talk about being "all shook up!"  Sorry, I couldn't resist.


Serve with a side of bacon if you really want to "take care of business."  Sorry again.  I'll stop now.

Here's the recipe... (adapted from here)
Serves 4

Ingredients:

3 bananas
1/4 ground steel cut oats ( I grind mine in my coffee bean grinder)
1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 cup milk
dash of cinnamon
1 cup ice

Blend ingredients to a smooth consistency.  Garnish and serve immediately.

my husband has been making (a less healthier) version of this on the weekends. his ends up more like a milkshake, which he likes to call a smoothie.

That sounds great! I like to add frozen berries and ti taste like a PB&J. A little flax seed thrown in is great too!
