Simple Smoothie

As I have mentioned before I love snacks, and snacking! :)

One of my favorite things is a really simple quick smoothie.

I usually put my bananas in the freezer if they start to look

like they are getting old. I don't like to waste, especially when

it comes to fruit, and fruits that generally go bad quickly. i.e. bananas.

 

So for this simple smoothie I use:

1 frozen banana,

about a tsp vanilla extract,

about a tsp of honey,

non fat milk, a good amount about a 1/2 to 3/4 cup

5-6 ice cubes

a handful of  semi sweet chocolate chips.

one scoop of 100% whey protein powder (vanilla)

 

I put all of the ingredients in my awesome ninja blender and blend away.

I really love the simplicity of a sweet banana smoothie, with a bit of the chocolate

chips in it to give it some texture, and a little taste of that chocolate.

This is good for either breakfast, a snack, or even a post workout smoothie.

You could add some spinach and turn it into a "green smoothie" or even some kale.

I love it as it is though, because with the white and chocolate my mind is thinking

it's like a milk shake or a starbucks Frappuccino almost. :)

 

It just needs a bit of stirring, throughout sipping,

to insure the chocolate doesn't settle at the bottom.
