If I had to choose one smoothie to have every single day on repeat, this would be the one. I don’t know about you, but I love dessert-flavored smoothies (and recipes in general) and the combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and banana hits the spot every time. I recommend freezing a bunch of bananas to keep on hand for when you crave this recipe. This Yogurt Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie tastes like a chocolate peanut butter cup and you’ll never know that it’s a healthy, nutritionally balanced breakfast or snack.

Why Smoothies are Amazing for Disabled People:

  • Smoothies are a super quick and easy way to prepare a complete, filling meal (filled with protein, fruit, vegetables, fibre, and healthy fats).
  • They are high in calcium which is crucial for people with disabilities who have low bone density.
  • You can pack them with extra protein and calories if you are healing from a pressure wound.
  • You can add extra fiber to support digestive health and keep your bowels regular (chia seeds, flax meal, or oats are excellent ways to boost fiber in smoothies).
  • They’re a great way to sneak in extra fruit and veggies (such as spinach or kale).
  • They don’t take a lot of time or energy to make, which makes them a great option for days when you’re in pain or extra fatigued. All you need is a blender, like the Omega blender!
  • Smoothies are versatile – there are ENDLESS flavour combos so you can make them everyday and never get bored!
  • They’re also made with affordable ingredients (hello frozen fruit!).
