A bit of healthy kale or spinach added to the classic peanut butter and banana combo – with a hint of sweet cinnamon – is a great way to get kids to fall in love with green leaves.

Method:

Simply blend all the ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Drink straight away or freeze as ice lollies.

Kids in the kitchen:

Get the kids to make this one themselves. They can dump everything in the blender and push the button!
