Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

This classic combination promises to keep you smiling and energized.

Most of the fats in this delicious, filling smoothie are healthy unsaturated fats. The peanut butter and Greek yogurt are great sources of protein. And by adding just 2 teaspoons of chia seeds (optional) you get even more protein, along with healthy fiber.

  • 2 Tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • ¼ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 large banana (frozen if possible)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place banana, peanut butter, yogurt, and milk in blender and puree. Scrape sides of blender to ensure uniform mixing. If too thick, add additional 1-2 Tablespoons of almond milk.

Makes 1-10 oz. serving.
