Peanut Butter Banana Protein Smoothie
This Peanut Butter and Banana Protein smoothie is great for breakfast or after a workout. By using milk and adding protein powder, it gives a nice amount of daily protein.
2% Milk is a good source of Vitamin D, calcium and protein but less the saturated fat content of full cow’s milk. Substitute whole milk if you are eating a low carb or keto diet.
Milk as a whole provides a good amount of protien. then adding a protein powder account for a good portion of your daily protein needs. These proteins are plant based and provide the 9 different essential amino acids that the body needs. You can use flavored versions as desired. I like to use chocolate with this particular recipe.
Peanut Butter is a great source of protien. To avoid extra sugars, you can use raw peanut butter if desired.
Also enjoy 55% DV manganese, 34% DV copper, 60% DV phosphorus, 42% DV calcium and so much more.
