Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium peanut butter
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large Banana, ripe
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder, low-sodium
- 2 tablespoons Rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Optional: Honey or maple syrup (to taste)
Instructions
Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
In a blender, combine the almond milk, ripe banana, low-sodium peanut butter, and vanilla protein powder.
Add the rolled oats and ground flaxseed to the blender. These ingredients will help add fiber and heartiness to the smoothie.
If desired, add honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness, but keep this to a minimum to maintain a low sodium content.
Add the ice cubes into the blender to make the smoothie cool and refreshing.
Blend on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add a splash more of almond milk and blend again.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. Note that the riper the banana, the sweeter the smoothie will naturally be.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy your low sodium peanut butter protein smoothie!
