The Skinniest Of Smoothies
With our upcoming move looming, (thanks for all the great feedback yesterday!) my to-do list ever growing and my mind racing at night, it's becoming clear that taking care of myself has got to be a priority if I plan on keeping my sanity and health in tact. A big part of this is eating right...which I typically do, at least at mealtimes. Where I always tend to drop the ball is snacking...
I'm trying to change my "peanut M&M loving" ways with some healthier options. My new "go to" these days are easy and quick smoothies. I'm sharing my favorite one here today. In order to come up with this pared down, super easy, low calorie, high protein version, I tweaked a few peanut butter banana smoothie recipes I found on Pinterest, until I got it right. I think it's a winner!
1 banana (frozen is even better)
1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
5-7 ice cubes
1 tablespoon low fat smooth peanut butter
Mix ingredients in a blender (I'm obsessed with my Vitamix, and I have friends that swear by their Magic Bullets) and enjoy! It's a great summer pick me up.
What healthy tweaks are you making these days?
