Sunday Smoothies: Peanut Butter and Banana with Soy Milk

Green Girl Goodies, July 2012

The blend of peanut butter and banana has always been one of my favorite combinations.  I am sure many of you have had that same mishmash in a smoothie before but in this case I use soy milk to blend the two while still keeping it healthy.  Any peanut butter will work but I like to use Naturally More peanut butter.  It is fortified with flax seed, flax oil and wheat germ to provide more protein and essential fats.  While the majority of peanut butters are mostly monousaturated fats Naturally More contains more of the “good” fats, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.  It can be found with the regular peanut butter in most grocery stores. 

Yield 1 serving

1 Banana, large

1 c Soy Milk, regular or vanilla (I used regular)

1 tb Peanut Butter, preferably Naturally More

1 tb Honey Flavored Agave

-      Using a spoon, “cut” the banana into small pieces and place them in the blender.

-     Add the peanut butter.

-     Add the soy milk then the agave and blend!
