Banana Drink

My banana drink absolutely has to be the first item that I post. I make this concoction several times per week. It's perfect for breakfast or a quick after school snack. The potassium, iron and electrolytes it supplies also makes it my go to post-workout drink. Its simple to make and satisfying...now if I could only give it a name befitting its importance in my life.

Banana Drink

P  GF  DF  V  DV

 

16 oz crushed ice

6 oz coconut milk (approx. 1/2 can)

2 ripe bananas

1-2 Tbsp peanut butter (Paleo: use cashew butter )

 

Put crushed ice in blender. Add coconut milk then peanut butter. Break bananas into small chunks and add them. Blend on high for several minutes. If the smoothies is too thick add a 1/4 cup of water to loosen. Serve immediately.

Tips: To crush ice you can put 8-10 cubes in a freezer bag and hit them with the flat side of a tenderizing mallet or a rolling pin. This is how I crushed ice for years.  Luckily I now have an ice maker which will do the brunt work for me.
