May Recipe of the Month: Banana Soy Smoothie
Just look at this creamy treat. YUM!
As the weather warms up, we all want something “easy peasy” as we rush out the door or simply sit on the back porch.
Did I mention that this smoothie is delicious?
With only 199 calories, this recipe makes a large smoothie, actually enough to share (you just might not want to).
This rich and creamy treat has 7.3 grams of protein, is very high in Vitamin D and calcium, low in saturated fat and has no cholesterol. You can reduce the total calories even further by substituting the honey with Truvia or another calorie-free sweetener.
Since soy is a complete protein this quick and easy smoothie can be a meal replacement.
With the price of groceries going up right now, don’t ever throw another banana in the compost again.
Freeze bananas and other fruit to make a range of smoothies throughout the summer. No more fresh fruit waste!
So, what does this mean to you and your family?
You can stretch your food dollars while increasing high-quality protein in your diet.
You deserve the best!
Enjoy!
