Delicious Weekly Smoothies

Banana, Peanut Butter & Oatmeal

Ingredients

1 semi rip banana or 1 frozen bananas

1 teaspoon peanut butter

½ cup uncooked (NOT instant) oatmeal

¼ cup “almond/silk” dark chocolate milk, 2% milk, or skim milk

1 to 2 pinches of cinnamon

Optional: flax seeds

Directions: place these first ingredients “OVER NIGHT” oatmeal, milk, and cinnamon (optional: add a dash of flax seeds). In the am add overnight mixture to the blender. Add the banana and peanut butter and blend until consistency is very smooth and liquid. Add ice if you would like. I don’t add milk or ice.

**As you go along know you can always change the recipe to fit your likes. I don’t normally measure anything

Banana & Strawberry 

5 sliced strawberries or MORE

1 semi rip banana or 1 frozen bananas

¼ cup “almond/vanilla” Silk milk, skim milk or yogurt

Ice is great over juices, added sugary drinks.

Directions:

Blend all ingredients and add more milk to thin it or NO ice and 1/8 cup for thicken. I usually add a couple more strawberries to make it more pink and tasty.

PROTEIN

Here’s the protein breakdown of my new favorite smoothie:

6 oz greek yogurt → 18 grams

3/4 cup skim milk → 6 grams 

1 Tablespoon Skippy natural peanut butter → 4 grams

What’s so great about frozen banana chunks? It makes the healthiest, purist, creamiest base for a super thick smoothie.
