Banana Almond Butter Smoothie

This smoothie is absolutely delicious and is a great post-workout or bedtime snack. It has the consistency and taste of a milkshake and provides essential vitamins and minerals including potassium, calcium, and folic acid. If you are looking for a protein boost, this is a great go-to snack. When you have overripe bananas in your fruit bowl, break them in half and put them in your freezer. Frozen bananas provide sweetness and texture to this smoothie.

2 teaspoons almond butter (or peanut butter)
1 frozen banana
1/2 to 1 cup skim milk (depending on desired consistency and blender power)

Put ingredients in blender until smooth. Do a taste test and if you want more sweetness, add some honey or agave nectar.
