Peanut Butter Banana and Almond Milk Smoothie
Peanut Butter Banana and Almond Milk Smoothie
After a workout, I like a cold refreshing protein-packed smoothie to get my day going. This smoothie is just that with a little potassium and protein to help the recovery process. This recipe yields 3 cups so if you’re feeling generous, go ahead and share half with a friend.
Yield: 2 servings (3 cups)
Oven: N/A
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: N/A
1 medium-size ripe banana, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 cups crushed ice, more or less depending on desired consistency
2 tablespoons reduced fat creamy peanut butter
Method:
1. In a blender, add banana, almond milk, ice, and peanut butter.
2. Blend on low until combined then high until smooth. Adjust consistency with more ice, if desired, and enjoy.
Kitchen Note: Feel free to swap almond butter for peanut butter and soy or dairy milk for the almond milk. If you desire a little sweetness, try adding agave or honey. If you have ripe bananas, think about freezing them (peeled and pre-cut) for your next smoothie. Frozen bananas are excellent in smoothies and can be substituted for ice in most cases.
