new favorite smoothie

happy monday everyone!

i hope you all had a great weekend. ours was full of fun and friends as usual...how lucky we are!

i've talked about my love for both smoothies and peanut butter before, and i'm still somewhat of a smoothie fanatic. these days, though, i either make a green smoothie with fruit, yogurt, and spinach/kale, or something with almond butter.

i typically buy the mara natha no-stir crunchy almond butter. i always try to have some in my fridge for smoothies and banana sandwiches:


this morning for breakfast i had this concoction, which is one of my recent favorites:

  • 2 spoonfuls of almond butter
  • about 1/3 cup non-fat plain greek yogurt 
  • 1 banana
  • about a teaspoon of honey
  • almond milk

while i shared a homemade almond milk recipe last week, this smoothie was made with store-bought almond breeze (unsweetened). :)

blend until smooth and enjoy! i made this one early this morning and will drink it for lunch, so i didn't add ice since it'll just be sitting in the fridge for a few hours. if i were to make it and drink it shortly after, i would take out some of the almond milk and replace it with ice. icy smoothies are hands-down the best.

this smoothie packs a ton of flavor and protein...can't beat that!
