Description
Somewhere between a smoothie and a milkshake, these Almond Butter Banana Shakes always hit the spot. They’re creamy, sweet, energy-packed, so tasty, and made with all natural healthy ingredients. Perfect for a mid-morning snack (especially with the addition of protein powder after a big workout), these shakes are great to enjoy for breakfast, too. Switch up the flavor by adding espresso for a coffee shake, cocoa powder for a chocolate shake, and swap the almond butter out for peanut butter if you prefer it.
