Smoothies!

Thought I'd share some really good smoothie recipes we've tried this week.

                                                         Banana Granola Smoothie (slightly modified)

Ingredients:

1 ripe banana (I used a frozen one)

1/2 c. plain greek yogurt

1/2 cup granola

2 scoops vanilla protein powder (optional- I didn't use this and it tasted great without!)

2 tsp vanilla

1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any milk you have)

 

dash of cinnamon

 

1-2 teaspoons honey

4 ice cubes

 

*I thinned this out with a little extra milk.  It was really thick but super yummy!!
