Bonnie and Ian's quick breakfast Smoothie!

Here's a nice simple recipe for a healthy breakfast beverage!

This is not an exact recipe, as its different every time, but the ingredients remain the same:

for 2 people:

2 Bananas
Plain or Chocolate Soymilk (we've been trying Almond milk lately, because there's just so much soy!)
1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
2 - 4 hearty scoops of Organic Creamy Peanut Butter (Teddy is great!)
Ice

Take the two bananas, and break them up into small pieces, about an inch or two long.  Put them in the blender.  Then, put in the protein powder.  Next, add the soymilk (you can try to measure out a pint in a pint glass, but I just dump in a bunch and add more if needed).  Then, add the peanut butter.  For 2 people, I like at least 3 scoops, but we love peanut butter.  Finally, add crushed ice.  
Blend for about 2 minutes until smooth.  Test with a straw, and add more soymilk or ice if needed.  
Pour, and drink.

I've found this order of ingredients to work very well.  The Peanut butter and Protein powder tend to stick to the side of the blender, so if you put in the powder before the soymilk, you can liquify it.  Putting in the peanut butter after the soymilk keeps it wet, and it doesn't stick as much.

yummy
