2 tablespoons dry PB2
2/3 cup 1% milk

In a blender, dump in the oat and blend til powdery. add in remaining ingredients and blend til smooth.

After scrounging in the fridge, I found a few alternate ingredients and I am ever so pleased with the results!

2 pineapple rings
1 oz 1/3 less fat Philly Cream Cheese

Combine ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Serve in a pretty glass (or don't) hehe

Yumtastic Smoothie

I still had more carrots left over from the other night so I decided to try them in a smoothie :)

I took about 1 cup of carrots and put them in a steamer bag to soften them up some more and cooked them for about 5 minutes. Allow them to cool for a bit, then added about 1/4 cup homemade apple sauce, a frozen banana with some frozen peaches, and a pineapple ring. Add enough water to get it all smoothie-fied in the blend and you are all set :)
Now turn your head sidewaysssssss :)

I love this cup :) My Granny gave it to me. It was my Pappy's :)
Loverly :)

Angie's Green Monster

Good Morning! If you are friends with me on facebook, you have probably seen me post about my new fascination with Green Monsters. And you also probably though, Angie...Drinking a green SMOOTHIE!?!?! NO WAY.

Way.
Totally.
:)

Ingredients:
1 small apple, cored and diced
1 small banana, sliced and frozen
3 stalks of kale (but just the leafy parts!)
1/2 cup milk, slightly frozen ( i put mine in the freezer for about 30 minutes)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon of PB2
a few drops of vanilla flavoring


So from what I had read, you put the greens in first, then I added the milk, banana, apple, pb2, vanilla and water. Blend it up using the smoothie setting on your blender, you can drop in a few ice cubes if you want :)

and PRESTO!


Now if you KNOW me, you know I wouldn't tell you that it was tasty if it wasn't :) But I was surprised. The Banana flavor really come through the most.

Aint it purdy? :)
I do suggest drinking it after blending it, unless you want to blast it back through the mixer a few more times as it will start to settle as it sits.
