Banana Peanut Butter smoothie

This is a very tasty high protein, high potassium smoothie. It is especially good to have for breakfast, after workout, or as a meal replacement on those occasional, far-in-between days when you really don't have time to cook yourself lunch. You can lower the fat content by using half the peanut butter and using low-fat yogurt if so desired. Also I like to substitute half a bottle of Ensure for the yogurt since I can't have yogurt. (As a side note, some people who have IBS, or irritable bowel syndrome, have it because of bacterial overgrowth in the digestive tract and yogurt can contribute to this.)

Ingredients

• 6-8 oz water


• 1 ripe (or frozen) banana


• 2 tablespoons wheat germ (I like to use toasted)


• 1/4 cup raw oatmeal


• 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or 1/2 individual bottle Ensure)


• 1 or 2 tablespoons natural-style peanut butter


• Stevia, honey, or sugar to taste

Instructions

1. Throw it all in the blender and blend for a couple of minutes since you want to oatmeal to completely pulverize.

That's all there is to it!
