Peanut Butter Green Smoothie tastes like a delicious dessert and looks like a shamrock shake. But it’s secretly healthy from kale! If you love peanut butter, this smoothie is for you. And if you or your kids are allergic to peanuts, you can make a Peanut Butter Green Smoothie with another nut butter, like almond, cashew, or sunbutter.

I admit, some days I feel like have a chocolate or peanut butter smoothie for breakfast.

Do you ever feel that way?

However, I know I should try to start my day with some super healthy greens.

So one morning I came up with a solution.

Peanut Butter Green Smoothie made with Medjool dates, bananas, and kale is perfect as a post-exercise recovery meal

Why not add a handful of kale or spinach to my milkshake smoothie to get the best of both worlds?

In addition, I decided to add Medjool dates to make it naturally sweet.

I promise you won’t even taste the kale!

And if kale isn’t your thing, spinach is even easier to camouflage.

You’ll be left with a creamy peanut butter smoothie that just happens to be a vibrant green color.

This Peanut Butter Green Smoothie is perfect as a recovery meal after a run or workout.

It’s high in potassium, an essential electrolyte we sweat out during exercise.

And it also contains a healthy mix of carbohydrate, fat, and protein.

Plus it’s high in vitamins A and C, along with calcium and iron.

    I love peanut butter in my smoothies too. Plus, it gives the drink staying power that it wouldn’t have otherwise. Without something filling like that in a smoothie, I get hungry again much quicker. Looks great, Amy!

    I always throw in spinach or kale to my smoothies but never taste it because there’s so much other tasty stuff in there like in your smoothie!

    I love peanut butter so this looks delicious!!

      Yes, I love that you get the pretty green color but yet it doesn’t taste like a blended up salad.

    So, this smoothie is amazing! I did make a change because I didn’t have frozen bananas,
    So I added one non-frozen banana
    And 1/2 a cup of frozen pineapple instead. I usually stick to my recipe for green smoothies, and I love kale in the morning (it gives me energy), but I woke up this morning craving peanut butter, so I went searching through my Smoothie board on Pinterest and found this recipe. I’m so glad I did!

    I made this and it’s yummy!!! One question though, can I use honey instead of dates? I tried the dates and my vita mix just couldn’t get the dates mixed down, so I had chunks of dates.

      I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Jill! You can use any sweetener you like instead of the dates. I sometimes use agave when I don’t have any dates.
