The other day my sister sent me a text swooning over a breakfast smoothie she made. She insisted that I should make it right away to experience the goodness of this delectable smoothie. I was drooling just from reading the list of ingredients she used and could not wait to make it myself! Inspired by Heidi's Instagram feed of smoothie bowls, I decided to add ice so I could eat it as a breakfast smoothie/soupy situation. Alas, you can drink your smoothie and eat it too!

Aaaand now I can power through a much needed study session for an upcoming midterm.

Ingredients

3/4 cup* skim milk or almond milk
1 medium frozen banana (see Step 1)
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp flax meal
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp cacao nibs
1/2 tsp coconut oil
1 cup ice

Steps

Cut a ripe banana in 1 inch slices and freeze in a freezer bag for 1-2 hours or overnight.
Blend all the ingredients in a blender and serve immediately.

*You can add more or less milk to adjust the thickness of the smoothie depending on your preference.
