This sweet, creamy smoothie boasts nearly 17 grams of protein. If you're a vegan, just leave out the dairy and add 1/2 cup or so of your favorite milk. The protein content drops a bit, but it's still a nice, healthy dose overall.

PEANUT BUTTER BANANA PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

I just started back to the gym after having my second child two months ago and was experimenting to find a smoothie high in protein and low in sugar to augment my workouts. I have this almost daily! It tastes like a decadent milk shake, and yet it is actually good for you. The real trick is to use previously sliced and frozen bananas. I buy bananas by the armload and then when they start to get riper than what I would want for eating, I peel and slice and put in Ziploc freezer bags. Then they can be used in almost any recipe asking for fresh ripe bananas.

Time 5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups sliced frozen bananas, still frozen (approx)
6 -8 ounces milk (I use 1%)
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (I use Prostar brand)
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
3 packets Splenda sugar substitute

Steps:

  • Break apart banana slices as well as you can, by using a butter knife or pounding them on counter.
  • It is not necessary to have all pieces separated, depending on the power of you blender (my Oster has no problem with this).
  • Put all ingredients in blender.
  • Start on low chop or grind setting, as if trying to blend ice.
  • When all of the banana slices have been blended and are no longer visible, blend for 30 seconds on blend mode.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right protein powder: Look for a powder that is low in carbs and sugar, and high in protein. Whey protein, pea protein, and brown rice protein are all good options.
  • Use fresh or frozen fruit: Fresh fruit is always best, but frozen fruit is a great option to have on hand for smoothies. Frozen fruit is also often more affordable than fresh fruit.
  • Add healthy fats: Healthy fats can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied after drinking a smoothie. Some good sources of healthy fats include avocado, nuts, and seeds.
  • Don't forget the liquid: Liquid is essential for making a smooth smoothie. You can use milk, water, or even yogurt as the liquid base for your smoothie.
  • Experiment with different flavors: There are endless possibilities when it comes to smoothie flavors. Try different combinations of fruits, vegetables, and spices to find your favorites.

Conclusion:

Protein smoothies are a quick, easy, and delicious way to get a healthy breakfast or snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover fruit and vegetables. With a little creativity, you can make a protein smoothie that is both healthy and delicious. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, try making a protein smoothie. You won't be disappointed!
