Breakfast Fruit Smoothie

Fruit and Peanut Butter

I love a good smoothie in the morning. It is a great way to get in fruit, protein and dairy in the morning.
I blend one big one and it makes two days worth.

Breakfast Fruit Smoothie
2 Bananas, fresh or frozen*
1 cup frozen strawberries, slightly
1/2 cup frozen blackberries, thawed slightly
2 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter
16 oz of whole fat yogurt

Almost-ready Smoothie

In a blender, toss in the bananas, strawberries, blackberries and peanut butter. Blend until in small chunks. Then add the yogurt. Blend until smooth.
Pour half of the smoothie into a glass serve with a straw. I poured the other half into a to-go container and put in the fridge for another day.

I have a friend in Australia. When I told her about my smoothies she was extremely grossed out. In Australia, they don't eat peanut butter on everything like we do here. They eat a sandwich spread called Vegemite. Needless to say, the first time she had peanut butter and chocolate together in peanut butter cup she was skeptical, but loved it. I am sure I could convert her to these smoothies.

A recipe better suited for this yogurt!

*When bananas start to turn brown, I freeze them. Not only are they great for banana bread, they are perfect when thawed for smoothies.

a yummy way to start the day
