It’s important to get enough protein in your diet. Protein is satiating and helps to maintain and build muscle mass. It raises your metabolic rate and feeds muscle for growth. So eat up, y’all, it does a body good! This Peanut Butter & Banana Protein Smoothie is a great way to get a protein boost to start your day.
I shoot for 20-30g per meal of good quality protein. One of my favorite ways to get more protein in my day is to make protein shakes and smoothies. They are tasty, quick to prepare and filling.
Protein shakes, like this PB & Banana Smoothie, are great for post-workout recovery. This shake has 30 grams of muscle-building protein! I used Silk ® Unsweetened Organic Soy Milk (with 8g plant-based protein from non-GMO soybeans per serving) in this smoothie, along with unflavored protein powder and powder peanut butter, so you get the protein and peanut butter taste with less fat.
Ingredients
- 8 oz unsweetened organic Silk soymilk
- 1/2 cup ice
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 scoop unflavored protein powder
- 2 tbsp powdered peanut butter such as PB Fit
- *optional:
- 1 tbsp raw honey
- 1 tbsp ground golden flaxseed
Instructions
- Add all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth

Where do you buy your unflavored protein powder?! Looks delish, but then I am a sucker for anything with peanut butter. 😀 Hope you have a great Easter!

Biz, my two favorites are BiPro (buy online) and Isopure unflavored whey. It tastes like whatever you mix it with, so I put it in so many things and recipes, too. My kids don’t even know that it’s in their shakes. 😉 Happy Easter to you and your family, too! I hope you all have a blessed day! xo~
