Why this peanut butter smoothie for kids is so great
- Rich in protein and nutrients: Peanut butter is a great source of plant-based protein, making this smoothie an excellent option for those looking to increase their protein intake. Protein helps keep you feeling full and satisfied, making it ideal for a quick breakfast or post-workout snack.
- Healthy Fats: Peanut butter is also rich in healthy fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health and overall well-being. These fats help keep you energized and focused throughout the day.
- Nutrient-Rich: In addition to peanut butter protein and healthy fats, I add Naked Nutrition Kids Daily Essentials which is packed with 8 grams of protein and essential vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium, vitamin E, and B vitamins. These nutrients support various bodily functions, including muscle function, nerve function, and immune health. This peanut butter kids nutritional shake also has banana, dates, and probiotics added.
- Delicious and Versatile: Not only is this peanut butter smoothie for kids nutritious, you can customize this recipe by adding additional ingredients such as cocoa powder, spinach, or swapping peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter to suit your taste preferences.
So if it is hard to feed your kids, this peanut butter smoothie gives them so much of what they need in one complete meal!
What if my kids don't like dates
This peanut butter nutritional smoothie for kids has banana and dates for extra sweetness. My older son doesn't like "knowing" there are dates in his smoothies, even when I blend them super smooth he can sometimes tell. If you kid is like mine, you can swap out the dates for 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. And if you have lots of left-over dates, try my Vegan Date Caramel Sauce and Chia Date Bars!
