I first started making this recipe when I was a home economics teacher. It quickly became a favourite of my students and a go-to recipe for me. Years later when I became a mom, I started teaching to my son how to cook. He started off as vegetable washer and eventually worked his way up to smoothie maker. This was and still is our family’s favourite smoothie recipe. Professional Home Economist tip: As much as I would love you to use natural peanut butter, I am sure most of you don't. For the non-natural peanut butter people, the brand you are using probably has sugar in it. Check the label, if it does, skip the added honey or sweetener of your choice. It's probably sweet enough without the added carbs and sugars. 1. Whirl everything in a blender. Divide equally between two glasses. Depending on how big the bananas are, if they were frozen, how much ice you added, and how powerful your blender is this will make up to 3 cups (750 mL). Divide in half. Serve. Professional Home Economist tip: The next time you have overripe bananas on your kitchen counter, jump for joy! They are a treasure trove of natural sweetness. For this drink all you need to do is peel, break it into small chunks, stick them in a freezer safe bag or container and stick them in your freezer. Add these frozen chunks to blender drinks. They help freeze the drink, add sweetness, as well as add that important potassium to help lower your blood pressure.
