Smoothie Blends

Fully Charged Banana Smoothie is great for early morning and is one of my original smoothie recipes. If you want something with a high protein boost and have a need for nutritious fruit, this one you should love. As with any of my original smoothie recipes, I honestly could not be accurate if I tried to tell you how many calories or fat grams it contains. I just know that I’ve made it and it’s good!

Smoothie Ingredients:

1 ripe banana (cut into chunks)
1/2 cup 2% milk (can substitute with soy or rice milk)
1 cup low fat yogurt (vanilla or plain)
2 tablespoons flax seed oil
2 tablespoons protein powder (or recommended amount)
1 T of condensed milk (optional)

Blend the banana chunks, milk, and yogurt on high until creamy then add the flax seed oil, protein powder, and condensed milk and blend for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour into a tall glass (frosted glass is better) and enjoy!

You can get the protein powder and wheat germ at any health food store such as GNC or even locally run specialty store. Or you can have a great smoothie by omitting those items.
