Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie
1 banana, 1 cup soy milk, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, and 1/2 scoop of vanilla soy protein powder. It's 17 ounces of smoothie, 370 calories, 11 grams of fat, 20 grams of protein. For a thicker shake, try using half a cup of soy milk. For a lower calorie shake, cut everything in half.
I make a similar smoothie, but without the soy protein powder (I use silken tofu if I need a protein boost). I love it with a some raw cocoa nibs or chocolate chips. Also ice is a great way to thicken it up and help you feel full with no additional calories. Yum!
