Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie

Eating a wholesome, hearty and balanced breakfast is a great and fantastic way to start the day!! There ae so many delicious and nourishing ways to fix up a breakfast. If you are looking for some new ways to spice up your morning breakfast routine, stay tuned in for the roundup of of the 'Show me your breakfast' coming up! Tomorrow is the last day for sending in your entries!

Protein and monounsaturated fat from the peanut butter, potassium from the banana, and protein and calcium from the milk will get your day off to a great start! This is a simple and great way to indulge as well. Just throw in all the ingredients in a blender and you are good to go. It keeps you full for hours as well.

Ingredients

Peanut Butter - 1 tablespoon

Banana - 1

Milk/Soymilk - 1 glass

Chop the banana roughly, add everything in a blender and pulse until smooth.

This smoothie is versatile. You can make your own variations to it. You can sweeten it with maple syrup or honey. You can add a pinch of cardamom powder, cocoa powder or vanilla essence for more flavor. You can add a few ice cubes and have it chilled!

Just indulge!
