It's that time of the month again....time for the Crazy Cooking Challenge, hosted by Tina at Moms Crazy Cooking. This month's challenge was fruit smoothies. Unfortunately, I don't like smoothies. I'm not a big yogurt drinker to begin with, and then mixing it with stuff and drinking it is just not appealing to me. My kids however, love smoothies! I don't think I've ever made them a smoothie before now, although I don't know why.....I discovered how easy they are to make! I have been a big fan of the Dole Smoothie Shakers. You just add fruit juice and shake! The kids like them.....but I can't tell you how they rate on the store-bought smoothie scale! When I was looking for smoothie recipes this one caught my eye. Peanut butter and bananas are staples in our household. I only had crunchy peanut butter which I used in the smoothie and I shouldn't have. The peanut chunks ruined the smoothness of the smoothie. I had a taste of the smoothie and it didn't make me a fan of them. My son downed his but my daughter didn't like hers. I'm glad that I was finally able to make my first smoothie. However, I won't be making this one again.

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon honey, more or less to taste

Sorry you didn't enjoy your smoothie. I think it sounds good! Boys, I don't have one, but I have heard they eat almost anything!

PB and banana is always a winning combination.
