Peanut Butter Smoothie

Money Saving Mom has a smoothie recipe that is real good. It uses all WIC ingredients and is easy to prepare. My kids love them and it is high in protein.

Peanut Butter Smoothie
3/4 - 1 Cup Frozen Bananas, Sliced*
1 Cup Milk*
1 Tab. Peanut Butter*

Blend in the blender until smooth. The above makes about 13-15 oz.

Orange Banana Julius / Smoothies

My husband and I love to make smoothies. Once you get a basic recipe, you can make any kind of smoothie you want.

Orange Banana Julius
1 Cup Water
1 Cup Milk*
1 Cup Orange Juice*
1/4 Cup sugar
3 tsp vanilla
1 frozen banana, sliced*

Add ingredients to blender. Blend until smooth.

Tip- You can make this with any juice you desire. When adding fruit, you can add any fruits that sound good to you, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries. The trick is to make sure they are frozen. These are used in place of ice, and give you the smoothie texture and taste much better.

Baby Banana Oatmeal Muffins

I made muffins this morning. They turned out pretty good. I did forget the sugar, but they still tasted good to me. This is a great recipe to use if you have an abundance of baby oatmeal cereal and baby food that you get from WIC.

3/4 Cup Baby Oatmeal*
1/3 Cup Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp salt

1/2 Cup Milk*
2 - 4 oz jars baby food- bananas*
1/4 cup cooking oil
-------------------------
