Okay folks, you know I love peanut butter — in mousse, in ice cream, in cookies, by the spoonful. You too? So why not in a smoothie?
To tell the truth, my favorite sandwich is toasted whole wheat bread smothered with peanut butter, topped with a halved banana, drizzled with honey and then thrown into the broiler for a minute. I discovered this sandwich sensation during a pregnancy, but I eat my fave “pregnancy sandwich” all the time now. So this heavenly creation inspired me to throw my PB in the blender (sans the bread!) and make Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie. Totally yummalicious – you cannot go wrong with this one! And it’s full of protein, in case anyone is keeping nutrition score.

Hi Ahuva. So to replace bananas in your smoothies and still achieve that creamy thick sweet texture you can try pears, mangos, papayas, nuts or even avocado depending on the recipe.

being im allergic to bananas, any suggestions to replace? ive made pb smoothies before (used to be my breakfast of choice) but it was always missing something.
