Peanut Butter and Banana Green Smoothie
Today I am going to share my Banana Peanut Butter Green Smoothie.
One of my favorite snacks is a banana sliced up with some peanut butter to eat with it. Yum! I could probably eat that every day without ever getting sick of it. The reason I don’t is because it has to many calories to consume just for a snack. I try to keep my snacks between 100 – 150 calories and my banana peanut butter snack clocks in easily at over 250 calories. So I don’t get to eat my favorite snack as much as I want.
However, I could justify eating that many calories for a meal. That’s when it hit me to create a smoothie using bananas and peanut butter. I know I am not the first person to think of this but I felt pretty genius at the time.
I have been drinking green smoothies for a few months now and love them. It is such a great way to get in a solid dose of veggies especially when you don’t feel like eating a side of broccoli every night with dinner. But I did wondered what kale would taste like mixed up with banana and peanut butter. For some reason that worried me even though I put kale in all my smoothies.
I decided to test the smoothie with kale despite my worries. I probably could have left it out but I drink smoothies to get my vegetables in so I knew I at least needed to give it a shot.
Well there was no need to worry. I placed all the ingredients into my Vitamix and within two minutes I had a super creamy and delicious Banana Peanut Butter Green Smoothie. Of course, the color was green from the kale but the flavor was all banana, peanut butter, and hint of sweetness from the maple syrup. Delicious and completely satisfied my craving for bananas and peanut butter.
For this recipe I highly recommend freezing the banana ahead of time. If not you will have to use a cup or so of ice to get that cold smoothie consistency. The smoothie will still taste good without the bananas frozen it just won’t be cold or have a thicker smoothie consistency.

Suitable to Your Own Needs and Health
Are there best diets to lose weight, or does it depend on every person’s specific needs and condition? Perhaps, you have heard celebrities or TV personalities talk about the latest fad diet or some pill they take to shed some pounds.
They may sound too convinced about these products, and you are probably intrigued to try these yourself. However, how can you tell which diet works for you when it comes to losing weight?
Below are some tips to help you determine if a weight loss diet is worth your time, or if you are better off doing something else.
Free from Chemicals
Since chemicals in supplements or weight loss products do nothing but harm to your health, then the best diets to lose weight include all-natural techniques that are safe, risk-free and effective, at the same time.
Whether it is a diet pill, smoothie mix, or an energy bar, products that are advertised to go along with a weight loss regimen should be made of natural ingredients.
What’s more, it is best if you are required to increase your intake of wholefoods throughout the diet.
Not only are fresh fruits and vegetables lower in calories, but these are also higher in nutritive content and satisfying.
Shedding some pounds is only one effect of a weight loss technique, but ultimately, your main goal is to improve your health and you can achieve this by choosing natural and chemical free supplements.
Suitable to Your Own Needs and Health
There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all diet. Considering the fact that people have varied body shapes and sizes, then it only follows that the diet should be customized according to your particular needs.
If you are suffering from a medical condition or have a history of serious ailments, then it is best that you discuss with your doctor or dietitian all about these diseases.
By doing so, the recommended diet will address your problem areas and prevent any side effects.
Tried and Tested
You would not want to treat yourself as a lab rat and go on a trial and error technique when it comes to choosing the best diets to lose weight.
The most practical thing to do is to look into different weight loss diets and techniques available, then study the pros and cons of each, including how effective these are.
Do your homework as you evaluate the diet types endorsed by public figures, your friends or family members, then determine the positive outcomes and limitations that come with these diets.
Recommended by Your Doctor
The main thing to keep in mind when choosing the right diet you need to lose weight is to consult your doctor first.
While there may be numerous options when it comes to weight loss diets, your healthcare provider can give you sound advice on what you should do to slim down safely and efficiently.
Furthermore, any existing ailments or health history will be taken into consideration to determine what you should and you should not include in your diet, as well as suggested workouts ideal for you.
Slim down quickly and safely by selecting the best diet to lose weight that works perfectly for your particular needs and goals.
Knowing how to choose the perfect diet and lifestyle suitable just for you can make the difference between true healthy slimming and short-term weight loss with negative side effects.
