For breakfast on the run or a post-workout treat, this is one of my go-to smoothies. It takes less than 5 minutes to prepare and is surprisingly filling. Plus, I always have bananas, almond milk, and peanut butter in my kitchen.
Once upon a time, I used to be this wonderful hostess who loved having friends around. (I’ve been pretty antisocial for a while now. Luckily, it’s finally starting to wear off.) Anyway, this combination of ingredients was always everyone’s favorite. And that claim’s actually got some weight because I was the smoothie queen—mixing up all sorts of fruity combos!
A 16-ounce serving, using fortified almond milk, is rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins A, B6, C, D, and E. You’ll also get about 10 grams of protein and 34 grams of carbohydrates. So what If I get lazy and decide to blend one of these smoothies instead of cooking? It’s a complete meal on its own.
Hooray for wholesome plant energy!
