This nutritious and filling blend of banana, peanut butter, pasteurized egg whites, milk, and a few other pantry ingredients is a great way to start your day. It also makes a tasty alternative to a sweet treat.
1 medium banana, 1 Tablespoon (16g) natural peanut butter or natural almond butter, 3 Tablespoons (46g) pasteurized liquid egg whites, 1 Tablespoon (7g) ground flaxseed, 1 cup (240mL) milk1, 2 Tablespoons (13g) peanut butter powder2, 1 heaping handful of spinach, 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder3
Blend everything on high until smooth. Serve immediately. Leftovers will last in the fridge a few hours but will start to separate.
Notes
Milk: I prefer unsweetened almond milk, but you can use any kind of milk you prefer.
Peanut butter powder: I usually use this to keep the fat content low. If you don't care about this or don't want to purchase an extra ingredient, feel free to use 3 Tablespoons of your preferred nut butter.
Protein powder: we use Vega protein powder in our house, but you can use any kind of protein powder you prefer.
