Peanut Butter & Banana Smoothie

by Lauren on April 19, 2011

Whats up Chicago?! Happy Tuesday, although this rainy weather is not making me very happy. 
I had dinner at East Bank Club last week and tried a taste of my friends peanut butter and banana smoothie. Although it was delicious, I was destined to make one of my own using low calorie ingredients.
I love smoothies but when I order them from a restaurant or smoothie shop, I don’t always know how much or what exactly is in it. I like to practice portion control and since peanut butter is high in calories I like to control how much is in my smoothie.
I love all natural creamy peanut butter…skippy just doesn’t do it for me anymoreI used 1 tbsp and it was just enough to create that delicious peanut butter flavor
I buy non fat yogurt by the tubsso easy and delicious
Peanut Butter & Banana Smoothie Ingredients:1/2 ripe banana (frozen bananas work well for this)1 tbsp of natural peanut butter1/2 cup of non fat plain yogurt 1tsp of honey
Blend all ingredients together until the smoothie is to your desired consistency.
I personally like mine thick, frothy, and smooth.
I love youuuuuuu I slurped up every last drop
My favorite tool in the kitchen…the motor boat! of course I made a huge mess, would you expect anything less?

I use Trader Joe's all Natural Peanut Butter. Make sure you mix it up very well! SO GOOD!
