Instructions

  1. 1 frozen banana

    Place your fresh banana in the freezer for at least a couple of hours, peel and all. The peel will turn black, but it does not affect the taste or quality of the banana.
  2. 2 Tbsp Almond Butter (Suggested brand: Artisana)

  3. 6 oz vanilla Greek yogurt, organic if possible

  4. 1/4-1/2 cup skim or low fat milk, organic if possible

    Combine all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Add a little extra milk if you like a thinner smoothie. Ready to serve.

Options

Add a handful of ice if you'd like.  If it is not sweet enough for your taste buds, add 1 tsp of raw honey. Try adding a dash of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. For increased fiber content add ground flax seeds or 2-3 Tbsp rolled oats!  Substitute unsweetened rice or almond milk for cow's milk if you wish.  

Grocery List

  • Banana
  • Lightly Roasted Almond Butter, Organic by Artisana
  • Vanilla Greek yogurt (organic if possible)
