I'm usually not a breakfast person. I mean I love breakfasts but definitely don't feel the urge to make these huge meals when I wake up. I'd rather get invited somewhere or go to a brunch to satisfy my breakfast cravings when I have any. So anyways whenever I find a yummy easy recipe I can make every morning to make sure I do eat breakfast I go for it. This is a modified version of a smoothie a friend sent me thru "pinterest"(my new obsession).
Ingredients:
- 1 small frozen ripe banana
- 1tbsp peanut butter (unsweetened and organic preferably)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 3/4 cup milk (almond, soy or fat-free milk)
- 2 cups or handful fresh spinach
- 1-2 tbsp flax seed or flax meal
Place all ingredients into a blender, add ice (optional) and blend until smooth.
I know the spinach might seem unappealing but you can barely taste it in the smoothie. Plus, you'll have some of your greens there. I haven't seen any recipe with the flax seeds or meal but I use it to add some fiber and make it healthier for me. I loooove peanut butter so this one is definitely a keeper. I absolutely love this smoothie. You can have it for breakfast, dinner or as a snack.
Enjoy!
