You knew this was coming, right? What’s the first, most logical thing one would create with peanut milk? Exactly. Nothing earth-shattering here, folks, just the usual rock-solid-delicious smoothie suspects paired with their new friend, peanut milk, all mixed up together into an irresistible shake-like consistency. Spoon required.

You temptress, that makes the green smoothie I had for breakfast look like garbage. Time for second breakfasts? 🙂
Haha! Save this one for dessert :-)!
Fine!
Somer you sound like me and my friends! You know you are great friends when you can call each other “temptress” in good fun. And I agree! I’m thinking of having this for breakfast now. I’m sure I have a few frozen banana’s in the freezer.
This shake would be perfect with Somer’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. I’m swooning over those too!
🙂 – ooh, great idea about the cookie bars – yum!
Friends that you can lovingly insult means the best kind of friendship 😉 Oh the combo of the cookie bars and this shake sounds positively dangerous.
Looks scrumptious!
Thanks!! I’m envying the green olive focaccia on your site…
Hey, how about joining the Potluck on Nov. 1??
I must honest, I’ve had two dates and 3 gigantic cups of black coffee. I need to up the antioxicants and chocolate right now with this. Can you make me one?
C’mon over! And I’ll pour us both another coffee, too!
Just signed up for the potluck. Woohoo! I’m excited. Beautiful interface btw! 🙂
Yay! So glad! Thanks, Richgail!
A dessert or afternoon pick me up shake if I ever saw one! I might even be tempted o throw a shot or two of espresso in there 🙂 Delicious! 🙂
Oh yeah – that would work quite nicely, Shira!
I knew that you would come up with a delicious creation with home-made peanut milk! yes, yes, yes! 🙂 Yum, yum, yum too! Have a great & fun weekend! xxx
Coming from the smoothie queen, that means a lot, Sophie! Have a lovely weekend!

That looks sooooo goooood!!
Super yum. My kids just might get really lucky this weekend and eat some of this. Thank so much!
My afternoon sweet tooth is starting to show it’s lovely face, making this smoothie shake extremely irresistible! If only I was at home where my kitchen, and more importantly, my blender is so I could whip one of these beauties up! That’s what weekends are for, right?:-)
Ahhh, and the weekend is nearly upon us!
So pretty! It’s like a blended banana split!
Hey, you’re right! That’s what I should’ve called it!
As soon as I saw the photo at the top, I thought to myself, Kel certainly picked a fine lady there! This looks magnificent, it would be a wonderful pudding.
Awww! Mmmm, pudding… You are onto something there!
Hehe I wasn’t too far off with my comment about chocolate peanut milk! It was a very logical and delicious progression 🙂
You predicted it!
peanut butter chocolate banana is my favorite combo!
