Peanut Butter Chocolate Green Smoothie

This is a green smoothie everyone should love ESPECIALLY the kids! It's sweet, creamy and peanut buttery! I know, I know the green is a little bit weird but you could just add a little mint to it then nobody will be bothered by the green!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Green Smoothie

2 cups Rice or Almond milk
(I bet just blending some soaked almonds with water would work good I will try it and let you know)
2 LARGE handfuls of spinach
2 Heaping Tablespoons all natural peanut butter (Costco has a good organic kind and Adam's brand is always good)
2 Tablespoon honey
2 or 3 bananas frozen
Ice enough for a good consistency I usually do a glass full
1 small handful of carob chips

Place all ingredients except carob chips in the blender and blend until smooth. Then add the carob chips and pulse until blended in but with some chips. ENJOY!

This sounds really yummy. I love using banana in smoothies because it gives it such a great texture.

I made this last night. They are absolutely delicious! Smooth, creamy and a sweet taste to it. It passed the test with my children too-they love it. Now I'll know they are eating their vegetables. Kim

Again my other children just love it. To me it tastes and looks like my husband['s favorite "mint and chocolate chip" ice cream. I think I've hooked them on that name. Kim

i totally agree with the mint chocolate chip look! rhea and i have been making smoothies lately, and we've decided this one tops even the "peanut butter chocolate" smoothie without the spinach. hard to believe. but yes. it's true. thanks for the great recipe tammie! we love you :)
