You can add an optional pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
For a nut-free option, substitute almond butter for peanut butter.
If the texture of the smoothie is a concern, ensure that it's blended until completely smooth.
Create a calm and soothing atmosphere during mealtime to promote a positive eating experience.
