I've been trying to figure out a healthy breakfast. Trying to stay away from eggs as much as possible due to my history of high cholesterol. I can eat the oatmeal with fruit often enough but just can't get myself to eat it everyday.
As I'm searching my books and Internet for ideas I kept running across a "banana & peanut butter milk shake" in the breakfast menus. Hummm? The recipes that I was finding called mainly for banana, peanut butter and milk.
It didn't sound all that appealing to me and I cannot drink regular milk it upsets my stomach......so I continue to search and continue to find this type of shake recipe.
I remembered I had some soy milk left so I thought I'd give it a try. I put the three ingredients in the blender and my husband & I drank a small glass. It was "ok".
My brain began working and I instinctively thought of chocolate milk! They make chocolate covered bananas and chocolate peanut butter treats don't they? I have to tell you that I loved that idea.
As I began experimenting with this I began adding more to the blender and now my husband tells me that this is the best "milkshake" he's ever tasted! We drink it several times a week as our breakfast and it not only taste super yummy and creamy but it fills me up for the entire morning and I feel energized!
I have to warn you.....I don't really "measure". So if you want to try this follow along with the idea and adjust the amount to what taste best to you. I also make an amount that will fill two glasses to the brim.
These are my ingredients.
Greek yogurt
chocolate soy milk
bananas
creamy peanut butter
honey
frozen strawberries
