A healthy recipe for a delicious peanut butter banana smoothie made with frozen banana, natural peanut butter, milk (or milk alternative), flaxseed, and whey protein. This kid-approved smoothie is easy and delicious!
I was visiting my mom recently and she showed me this clever idea for making individual serving size smoothies. Just use a mason jar in place of the blender container. How brilliant is that?!
Not only does this whip up a perfect serving size, but it's super cute, too. I love serving drinks in mason jars, maybe it's a southern thing but I love them. I also have a lot of them on hand for canning, since I garden. This way there is no need to go out and buy the fancy blender brand containers for blending small portions.
This works great on my Osterizer Classic Beehive blender and will work with any Oster brand blender, but I am not sure about other brands. It's worth a try if you have a lot of jars on hand. Now for an awesome smoothie recipe that is my kid's absolute favorite. They request this for breakfast almost daily.

What a great idea to use a mason jar for single servings! What a clever idea your momma had. I'm going to have to get me some of these. And the Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie sounds delicious!

Yum! I still need to give stevia a try too. What a great idea, I will try it with my blender.
