Peanut Butter Power Smoothie

This summer began my quest, not only to get in shape, but to make the perfect smoothie (which is a lot harder than it seems, especially if you have my terrible blender).



Thankfully - I have achieved the latter of these goals. I have made an amazing smoothie. And to top it off, it is packed with vitamins and protein!



Ingredients to gather: 
1 banana [about 90 calories]
3-5 strawberries (frozen is fine) [10 - 20 calories)
4-6 slices of peach (frozen is fine) [about 20 calories]
2 tablespoons peanut butter (be as generous as you feel) [200 calories]
1 tablespoon fat free cool whip [8 calories]
1 cup Bolthouse Perfectly Protein [180 calories]


In a blender: 

Blend the banana and Bolthouse until smooth. Then add peanut butter and cool whip. Blend again! Now, add the frozen fruit and blend until desired consistency is reached!

Yields about 2 servings @ approx. 250 calories each! Enjoy!
