Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie

 

Whether you'd like to enjoy a smoothie for breakfast, dessert or a between-meal treat, this one is a great choice. The banana provides plenty of natural sweetness, while the peanut butter offers monounsaturated “healthy” fats and protein. Combined with non-fat milk, this could be the perfect pick me up when you're feeling tired. Vegans can substitute unsweetened soy or almond milk.

 

Ingredients

 

1 cup skim milk

1 medium banana

1 tablespoon creamy natural peanut butter, unsalted

 

Peel and slice the banana. Place in a blender or food processor and add the milk and peanut butter. Process until completely smooth. For a more milkshake-like version, freeze the banana before blending.
