This Healthy Banana Split Smoothie is healthy enough to be breakfast, but delicious enough to be dessert!Healthy Banana Split Smoothie Recipe

Heads up! This recipe was first published in February 2013. Recipe and photos were updated August 2018. Enjoy this healthy banana split smoothie recipe!

The other day when I was driving Meghan to school, I said, “Brrrrr!  Where did this cold weather come from?”

She replied, deadpan, “It is winter, you know.”

What would I do without the logic of my four-year-old?  Thanks for the reality check, kid. I sure hope Mr. Groundhog was right and spring weather is on its way because I am so over winter.

This healthy smoothie is my way of bringing a little summer flavor to a cold and drab winter.  In the town where I grew up, the thing to do in the summer after a soccer or baseball game was to head to Dairy Queen for a treat.  The cool thing to get was a Blizzard, but I was all about the banana split.  It had all of my favorite flavors together:  banana, strawberry, chocolate, and peanut.

I can’t remember the last time I went to a Dairy Queen, but I’m glad I can easily recreate those flavors at home.  Trust me, this smoothie is much healthier than DQ’s banana split, and you don’t have to wait until summer to get it.

Smoothies are such a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth in a healthy way. Try this Peachy Kiwi Green Smoothie or this Orange Creamsicle Smoothie for more sweet and healthy smoothie recipes!

As always, enjoy, my friends!

    Hi Maryea,
    I’ve been hearing a lot about raw milk these days and I was wondering what your take is on it…?

      I have mixed feelings about raw milk. If I was going to drink a lot of cow’s milk, I would want it to be raw. I think it’s the healthiest version of cow’s milk we can drink. Well, if it’s raw milk from a grass-fed cow. BUT…I am still conflicted about drinking too much cow’s milk. It is high in casein (the type of protein) and I don’t think humans are built to consume large amounts of casein. I came to this conclusion after reading The China Study by T. Colin Campbell. Here’s a link where you can read a little bit about the studies he did: http://www.tcolincampbell.org/courses-resources/article/casein-consumption/ (and I’m sure if you search his website you can find even more info).

      That being said, raw milk is illegal where I live. When I do buy cow’s milk (on occasion for certain recipes where non-dairy milks just won’t do), I buy milk that comes from a local farm of grass-fed cows that is not homogenized and pasteurized at the lowest possible temperature.
      So that’s my short answer of what I think about raw milk. 🙂

    This smoothie is almost the same as the one my 8 year old requests most mornings for breakfast. I like to add 1/4 c of rolled oats to the mix and omit the strawberries. We call it his Reese’s peanut butter cup smoothie. I’ll test out the addition of strawberries on him next time.
