Simple Saturday Smoothie
This is becoming a bit of an Saturday morning tradition. Simple, healthy, and tasty. It hits just the right balance of being filling while not too heavy.
AND it's a great way to use up those bananas that have over ripened during the week.
Recipe:
3 over ripe bananas (really! stronger flavor)
24 frozen strawberries (I keep a bag in the freezer)
2 cup non-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
20 grams benefiber (optional, we eat a high fiber diet)
24 grams whey powder, vanilla flavored (optional, helps thicken a bit, adds a little vanilla flavor, and mostly boosts protein).
Blend all ingredients together. Note - the frozen strawberries help chill and thicken the mix - don't thaw them. Makes 4 servings.
No thinking, no cooking. All natural, no added sugar with lots of great protein and fiber. There are worse ways to start a day!
