I've been craving a shake for a couple weeks now, but not the kind with ice cream, the kind with peanut butter and banana and cocoa and almond milk. My New Roots has a milkshake recipe that I LOVE (here), and that's what I've been wanting.
Egan introduced me to this new place called Cafe SuperNatural in Salt Lake City. It's very healthy (plant-based, mostly raw, and gluten free). We shared a cacao shake last Friday and it satisfied my shake wishes in a big way.
I've been on this soaked steel cut oats kick for a few months now and this week I made the switch to morning smoothies for breakfast. My favorite combination feels more like a shake/smoothi. combination. Maybe just because of the chocolatey-peanut buttery addition.
Breakfast Smoothie
I don't measure anything, I just eye ball it to make 1 tall glass.
almond milk
greek yogurt
frozen berries
spinach
banana (frozen or ripe)
pitted date
1/2 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon cacao powder
blend* away.
*for the record. I love my Ninja blender. I got it for my birthday this year.
Ok I'm driving to the store today to make sure I have everything I need to make this tomorrow morning. YUM and thanks.
ReplyDeletei need to start making morning smoothies again. it's good it's quick it's easy and healthy. duhh.
ReplyDeleteI've never done peanut butter in mine...can you taste it?! I have my empty smoothie sitting next to me at work--but it just doesn't fill me up as much as I'd like it to. Suggestions?
ReplyDeleteJane! Thanks so much for sharing my items on your blog!!! :-[) This shake looks awesome and now i am wondering if I should save for the Ninja that you have instead of the vitamix?
