For anyone who enjoys a quick breakfast, or likes to eat on the go, this smoothie recipe will be a great part of your morning routine. The flavors of banana, peanut butter, cinnamon, and vanilla taste like a sweet indulgence but contain far fewer calories than a dessert and no artificial sugars.
This smoothie is high in fiber and plant-based protein, which will fill you up and help build strong, healthy muscle. Bananas are high in fiber and potassium with 422 mg per banana. A diet high in potassium may help reduce blood sugar and pain in the joints. Medjool dates are the perfect natural sweetener because they're full of vitamins and minerals your body needs. Although these dried fruits may be high in calories, they're also high in fiber which boosts digestion and heart health. Also, if weight loss is one of your health goals, many nutritionists recommend eating dates as a diet-friendly food to redirect your sweet tooth to healthier, natural options. Peanut butter is high in plant protein with 4 grams per scoop. Look for all-natural peanut butter at your grocery store and steer clear from jars with unhealthy additives like palm oil.
