Like many people these days, I am trying to get more protein and fiber in my diet. I was craving banana bread after tasting some my friend Sheila made yesterday, so I thought I'd try to make a smoothie to match those great flavors. Besides being delicious, this smoothie features 7 g fiber and 21 g protein. Plus, it's got a nutritious boost of calcium - almost 30% of my daily requirement.
Peanut Butter Banana Bread Smoothie
2 bananas, peeled, sliced and frozen
1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (uncooked)
1 container (5.3 oz) plain non-fat Icelandic or Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of ground nutmeg
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon maple syrup
2 T. peanut butter powder
1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (uncooked)
1 container (5.3 oz) plain non-fat Icelandic or Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of ground nutmeg
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon maple syrup
2 T. peanut butter powder
Add all ingredients to a blender and pulse until smooth. Garnish with bananas and peanuts, if desired. Serve immediately.
