Peanut Butter Split Smoothie Food

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER SWIRL SMOOTHIE

Steps:

• Put the chocolate and heavy cream in a small bowl set over--not in!--simmering water, and stir until the chocolate melts. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Put half of the melted chocolate mixture into a blender along with the bananas, yogurt, milk and peanut butter. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 2 minutes.
• Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate in the bottom and down the sides of two large glasses. Fill each glass with the smoothie and serve immediately.

PEANUT BUTTER SMOOTHIE BOWL

Steps:

• Put the almond milk, ice, yogurt, peanut butter, chia seeds, vanilla, bananas and a pinch of salt, if using, in a blender and puree until creamy and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour into individual bowls and sprinkle with toppings of your choice.

APPLE AND PEANUT BUTTER GREEN SMOOTHIE

Steps:

• In a high-speed blender (and in this specific order), add the apple, lemon juice, peanut butter or almond butter, spinach, kale, ice cubes and water and blend on high until very smooth (about the time it takes you to refill your ice cube tray and stick it back in the freezer). Pour into glasses and sprinkle with super seed mix, if using.
• You can also add a few shakes of turmeric, a small chunk of ginger or 2 stalks of celery (chopped). If so, add after the nut butter and before the greens and blend until very smooth.
• To make these freezer-friendly: In quart-size deli containers or ziptop bags, pack in the apple, lemon, peanut butter or almond butter, turmeric/ginger/celery (if using), spinach and kale. Make a bunch at a time and seal and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to blend, add the contents to a blender along with 1 cup of water--no need to add ice. Let it sit for a few minutes so that it can defrost slightly, then use a butter knife to carefully break it up into slightly smaller chunks. Blend on high, using the tamper to help everything incorporate, until very smooth. Pour into glasses and sprinkle with super seed mix, if using.

PEANUT BUTTER SMOOTHIE

Steps:

• Whizz all the ingredients together in a blender (one suitable for crushing ice) until smooth. Pour into a tall glass and serve.
