This smoothie has been my breakfast almost every morning since the juice fast! It’s quick, healthy AND it actually keeps me full until lunch! I make this super easy smoothie in my magic bullet blender but any blender will do…

WHAT YOU’LL NEED
-1 large ripe banana
-crushed ice
-scoop of almond butter
-soy milk

WHAT TO DO:

-Fill the bottom of the cup or blender with crushed ice (or ice cubes and crush them up a little). I use about 1/2 cup of ice, you can adjust this depending on how thick/icy you want your smoothie.

-Peel the banana, cut or just pinch the banana into several pieces and add to blender

-Add a scoop of almond butter, I use somewhere between 1-2 tablespoons.

-Pour in some soy milk, I use about 1/2 cup. Again, just adjust this depending on how thick you want your smoothie.

-If there’s space at the top of my magic bullet cup I’ll top it off with a little more crushed ice.

-Blend and enjoy!

I recently got some Aria Protein Powder – yummy Vanilla flavored – and have started adding that to a post-workout smoothie. I did pretty much everything the same as above but added 20-30 frozen blueberries and 2 scoops of the protein powder (I call that one Vananaberry – bahaha). Today I made it with just ice, protein powder, strawberries, blueberries and soy milk. Can’t wait til summer when I can get fresh, juicy strawberries!

Anybody else have a tried and true smoothie recipe? Or an unexpected delicious ingredient?
