Spring Up, ShakeDown

Shakes are a great way to fill up with fast nutrition. Spring is around the corner, and this is one of my favorite recipes.  It’s gluten free, and tasty morning breakfast after a heated yoga class or a satisfying weeknight dessert. Drink up, shake up and slim down!

Fit2bWell Tip: Review the nutrition facts of almond milk and soy milk as below. Feel free to substitute one for the other to experiment. I also like to experiment with other healthy organic butters like almond and soynut, and even indulge in a bit of nutella once in a while.

2 cups Silk Dark Chocolate Almond Milk

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

1 large banana, frozen

• Break banana into 1-inch chunks.
• Place banana and remaining ingredients in blender or food processor. Cover; blend on high speed about 30 seconds or until smooth.
• Pour into 2 glasses. Serve immediately.

Fit2bWell Tip: For thicker, sweeter shakes, try substituting for 3 small frozen mini/lady finger bananas
