Hello my friends! I hope you all had an amazing weekend!

Today I want to share my favorite smoothie recipe with you. To be honest, I make this smoothie on a weekly basis (I may be addicted). It is the perfect post-workout treat as it has protein, fruit, and is refreshing. It is also a great way to beat the heat on these summer days and perfect to enjoy poolside or at night as dessert. I will share the recipe based on one serving, but it is easy to double or triple the recipe to share with friends.

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 2 frozen bananas
• 2 tablespoons of PB2 powdered peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons of greek yogurt (I use Dannon Light & Fit vanilla flavored)
• Almond milk- start with 1/4 cup and add more until it reaches a smoothie-like consistency

Directions:

Cut bananas into slices and freeze in Ziploc baggy prior to making a smoothie. Add frozen bananas, PB2, greek yogurt, and almond milk to blender. Blend ingredients together adding more almond milk as necessary until it reaches your desired consistency. Pour into cup of your choice and sip away!

This is such a simple and healthy recipe to enjoy anytime of the day. When we purchased our Ninja blender last summer I was constantly experimenting with smoothie recipes. As soon as I created this recipe I was hooked! The most challenging part is adding the right amount of almond milk. I don’t exactly measure the almond milk but instead I eyeball it and add more as the ingredients blend together.

I usually enjoy my smoothies in this mason-jar like cup from Target that has a lid and straw so it keeps my smoothies cold (and I can’t resist a cute mason jar). I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do!

Talk to you soon.
