Peanut Butter Banana Shake

More like peanut butter yum. I've been really into smoothies lately. I make some variation of a green smoothie every morning before work. I've started using almond milk instead of regular milk. You get a few more vitamins with almond milk, but not as much protein.

My latest recipe goes something like:
1/2 frozen banana
1/2-3/4 c almond milk
1/4-1/2 c fage 0%
1 tbsp peanut butter/almond butter (if I'm feeling nutty)
2 tbsp ground flax seed
4 handfuls of baby spinach
1 c blueberries

Last night I used all of my spinach for the avocado breakfast pita, so this morning I tried this pb & banana recipe. I think it's near impossible to not love this smoothie. Try it out and let me know what you think!



Ingredients (makes 8-12 oz)
1 frozen banana, sliced*
6-8 oz almond milk
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 tbsp flax seed

Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.
*It's easiest if you slice the banana first, then freeze it. 

Recipe slightly adapted from Prevention.
