She Eats Breakfast: Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
3 ice cubes
1 sliced banana
1 Tbsp peanut butter
1 tsp honey
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1-2 Tbsp ground flax seed (optional)

Blend and Enjoy!!!  



Here's another option...

Make the smoothie ingredients up ahead of time and put them in the freezer! Take the yogurt and fill 4 ice cube squares. Fill one ice cube square with the peanut butter, honey and vanilla. Slice up the banana. [See our quick tip for no-mess banana slicing.] After 4 hours or so of having the ice cube trays in the freezer, separate them out and put them in a little baggie with the sliced banana and ground flax seed. Then when you are ready to have a smoothie, thaw the baggie for a few minutes and then dump the contents into the blender with your milk! No need for the ice cubes, this way.

Makes for an extra smooth--smoothie!
