Notes

Milk: You can use any milk you like in this recipe. Dairy milk works well, but almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk are great non-dairy options that keep the milkshake creamy and delicious.

Peanut Butter: Swap it with almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter if you need a nut-free version. Even tahini can work if your child enjoys the flavor.

Banana: If you're out of bananas or prefer not to use one, try avocado for creaminess or frozen mango for sweetness with a slightly different twist.

Spinach: Baby spinach blends easily and has a mild flavor, but you can substitute with kale (preferably baby kale) if you're looking to change things up. Just keep in mind kale has a stronger taste.

Cocoa Powder: You can use cacao powder instead for a less processed option with a deeper chocolate flavor.

Sweetener (optional): If the milkshake isn’t quite sweet enough, add a touch of honey (for kids over 1), maple syrup, or a date before blending.
