 - Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses. For kids, serve 6 to 8 ounces per serving; for adults, 8 to 12 ounces is ideal. This recipe makes about 4 cups in total.

Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness and flavor.
 - Chunky or creamy peanut butter both work well; choose according to your texture preference.
 - Replace whole milk with any milk substitute for a dairy-free or vegan version (note: this changes nutrition slightly).
 - Adding spinach increases fiber and vitamins without significantly altering taste.
 - Cacao nibs add antioxidants and a subtle chocolate flavor while providing extra texture.
 - For a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes or use frozen spinach if adding.
