HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I pray you had a wonderful day with friends and family. Here is a quick glimce at what Thanksgiving looks like at Me in the Kitchen.
After sleeping in, and a quick workout I had one of my favorite smoothies Peanut Butter Banana (recipe listed below)
Don’t mind the green tint, I always add a bit of greens to any smoothie I make. It’s my way making sure I get my nutrients in the for the day…or at least that’s what I tell myself.
Then it was off to prepare Thanksgiving dinner. My family has never been traditional when it comes to any holiday. This holiday meal was no different. Each year I typically make something I don’t normally. Sometimes I try to make something new; like my failed attempt at my Grandmothers Yeast Rolls last year.
The menu this year consisted of: Eight Cheese Vegetable Lasagna, Collard Greens and Butternut Squash. It was all so wonderful! I must say I out did myself this year.
Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp of Peanut Butter
- 1 Frozen Banana
- 1/2 cup of Kale or any greens you have on hand
- 9 oz of Coconut Water
- 2 tbsp of Ground Oats or oat flour
- Cinnamon to taste
- Splash of pure Vanilla Extract
- Honey to taste optional
Instructions
Grind the oats first.
- Add uncooked oats to a dry blender and blend until they form a fine flour. (This works best before adding any liquid—oats tend to stick once wet.)
Add remaining ingredients.
- Add peanut butter, frozen banana, kale (or other greens), coconut water, cinnamon, vanilla, and honey (if using).
Blend until smooth.
- Blend until creamy and fully combined. Add a splash more coconut water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
