This is my favorite shake, and so easy to make too! The kids just made this one for me. The cinnamon adds a warm undertone and the honey a little addition of sweetness, overall a very mellow shake. Make sure your bananas are very ripe, makes 4 kids shakes.
Tip: You can always freeze ripe bananas for these shakes or for other recipes ahead of time; I would recommend you freeze them out of their peels and in a 1 gallon freezer bag.
Ingredients:
2 large, 3 medium very ripe bananas (brown spots will start cropping up when the bananas are ready for a shake or to bake with)
1 cup Stoney field Banilla or French Vanilla Yogurt
2 cups 1% milk
5 ice cubes
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey
1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter (optional)
Add all ingredients to a blender, first blend on ice crush until all the ice seems crushed (the sound will change), then for 10 seconds on puree or blend.
Tip: Experts are finding that cinnamon is good for digestion and some studies showed that it can help metabolize sugar. To get more cinnamon into my kids I add it to the top of unsweetened apple sauce, mix it in Greek Yogurt, shake it on their oatmeal and sprinkle some into most of the shakes we make.
