Easy and delicious, this paleo and GAPS friendly Banana Nut Butter Smoothie is a breakfast favorite the whole family will enjoy!
Family favorite.
My family loves smoothies. Of any and every kind. But this Banana Nut Butter Smoothie is by far my family’s favorite smoothie. Yes, even my fairy princess 9 year-old, who prefers sugary, pink, and sparkly will drink this smoothie. It’s the perfect combo of banana and nut butter – not too sweet, so you can enjoy it for breakfast, but also sweet enough to be a great treat during nap-time.
If you’re not a fan of nut butter (or you’re allergic) you can use peanut butter, instead.

If you can do dairy, this smoothie is also delicious made with raw milk!
