Banana Nut Smoothie

from Peanut Butter-Banana Granola & Smoothie, the Week of January 12, 2014.
View the next recipe for this meal.

Bananas and peanut butter are such good buddies. Blended up is a protein-potassium packed way to start your day. Frozen bananas make this cold and creamy lusciousness. If you do not already have frozen bananas, chunk one up in small bits and toss in the freezer for at least 5 minutes. Any kind of milk will do, almond is especially nice if you want to avoid dairy. Flax adds a boost of fiber, good omegas and an interesting grainy texture, but is totally optional.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk, or almond or other dairy-free, more if needed
  • 1 banana, frozen in chunks
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter, or almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon flax meal, ground, optional

Serving Size: 1 Person

Preparation Instructions

Pour in about half of the milk to start. Add the chunks of bananas, nut butter and flax meal, if using. Start blending and continue to add milk until the bananas finally whirl up into smoothiness.
