This smoothie is packed with protein and healthy fat, great for a pre or post work-out treat.
1 frozen banana (gotta be frozen to get the right consistency!)
1 cup non-dairy milk (try coconut milk — the good stuff — if you’re feeling naughty)
3 tbsp silken tofu
2 tbsp organic peanut butter
1 tbsp ground flax seeds (gotta be ground!)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Variation: Make it a mocha- Add 1 tbsp cocoa powder and 2 tsp granulated instant coffee.
Do you have any suggestions for replacing the banana? I have a wicked allergy.
A cup of frozen mango gives it a similar consistency but of course a different flavor!
Have you tried just making Banana “Ice cream” (just frozen bananas crazy blended up)? We do that a lot and it is delicious. I need to try this because I am addicted to peanut butter.
Yes I do it all the time! Addicted to it. Cocoa powder in it…mnnn
Now that I’m armed with both a blender and food processor, I definitely need to step up my smoothie game. I shall be returning to your site before my next grocery store shopping spree.
