Ingredients:

• frozen fruit - I used banana raspberries and strawberries - if using fresh fruit, be sure to freeze before making the smoothies
• unsweetened coconut milk - a non-dairy way to add creaminess to the smoothie
• vanilla protein powder - adds additional protein as well as some flavor and a little bit of sweetness
• peanut butter - use an unsweetened, natural peanut butter for this recipe

How to Make the Smoothies:

1. Start with your frozen berries in the bottom of your blender. I like to let the berries sit for 5-10 minutes to thaw just a little bit.
2. Add the banana, coconut milk, peanut butter and protein powder to the blender.
3. Turn you blender on - start with low speed to combine and increase speed to the highest setting and blend for about 30 seconds.
4. Pour smoothies into your favorite glasses and enjoy. Garnish with a few of slices of fresh strawberry or banana and a drizzle of peanut butter.

Substitutions:

Coconut Milk - if you don't have or don't enjoy using coconut milk, you can swap out for any other plant based milk or cow's milk

Banana - many of you seem to be looking for a smoothie recipe without bananas - in this recipe, you could swap out the banana and use one avocado or one cup of greek yogurt

How to Store Your Smoothies:

Smoothies can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. You can store a finished smoothie in the freezer for up to 3 months. Store smoothies in a large mason jar. This can be used in either the refrigerator or the freezer. If you are freezing a smoothie in a mason jar, be sure to leave 1-2 inches at the top of the jar as the smoothie will expand a bit in the freezer.
