Nutty Banana Smoothie
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Makes: 1 serving
Orange juice, bananas, and peanut butter are all high in folate, so we've blended them into a thick and creamy shake for breakfast on the run or a mid afternoon treat. Frozen bananas are the secret. Peel a bunch and stash them in a zip-closed bag. (If you are making this yummy recipe for your infant, you must skip the peanut butter and honey.)
