Subtle House's Cookbook

Note: If making smoothies for someone who has an upset stomach, omit the chocolate.

Note: If you have fresh bananas rather than frozen, blend in ice cubes to achieve desired consistency.

Ingredients
6 frozen banana halves, or 3 fresh bananas plus some ice cubes
3/8 c mini chocolate chips
3/8 c peanut butter
Non-dairy milk

Equipment

Blender
2 freezer-safe pint (2-cup) containers
Freezer

Instructions

1) Blend. Put the solid ingredients in the blender, laying the banana pieces as flat as possible. Pour in just enough non-dairy milk to cover them. Add ice cubes if using. Blend at high speed until the texture is smooth, adding more milk as needed (but not exceeding 4 total cups of smoothie). Do not overblend or the heat of the blending will melt the smoothie.

2) Serve and store. Pour into glasses if drinking immediately. Otherwise, divide between the two pint containers and freeze. To serve after freezing, thaw in the fridge until liquid or just eat with a spoon.
