What I eat in a day…Peanut Butter & Banana Smoothie with Pea Micro Greens

There are just those time when you have to have something sweet. Maybe you’re craving ice cream, or a shake. This little smoothie fits the bill, even with the micro greens added. Don’t add too many, or they will over power the flavor. To boost the nutrients even more, I’ve added some of my L.A.P.S. nut and seed mix. You can find that recipe here:

This smoothie is so delicious. It quickly became a favorite for me. I whipped it together one day when I had some serious cravings and it fit the bill. I’ve had it many times since then. There are only 6 ingredients, which are very versatile. I used whole milk here, but have also used almond milk. I like the vanilla, which gives it a bit of that “ice cream” feeling. If you can’t eat peanut butter, any nut butter will work. I find sun butter (sunflower seed butter) to be the best replacement, in terms of flavor. The bananas must be frozen for that milkshake feeling. You can also add 1 cup of ice, to intensify that aspect. Another option, if you’re looking to make this a meal replacement, is to add a scoop of collagen or protein powder for added nutrients.
