Peanut Butter Banana Milk Drink Recipe

  

This recipe is for the ones who love the good old combination of peanut butter and banana, but with fewer calories. As I’ve said in the past, I always try to find ways to ensure that my husband Lulu, who is a vegetarian, has enough nutrition in his diet. He’s also been exercising regularly lately, so I figured a healthy treat was in order.

I made banana milk that is vegan (Lulu’s lactose intolerant too!). The drink is a blend of bananas, soy milk, peanut butter, cinnamon, whey protein and vanilla extract. It’s a delicious way to start the day with healthy servings of potassium and protein, which is great for a vegetarian diet. Best of all, Lulu loves it! And if you like this drink, I’ll post more whey protein-enhanced beverages soon.
