Peanut Butter Banana Protein Shake using PB2

I am addicted to this protein shake after my workouts. Here's the recipe:

1 frozen banana, chopped
2 T of PB2 Find it Here at Amazon.com
1/3 to 1/2 cup of Greek Yogurt
1/4 c. Almond Milk (or regular milk)

Blend it all up. I like to use my Cusinart Compact Blender


PB2 is great as it has 85% less fat than traditional peanut butter but it is still packed with protein. Combine that with the Greek Yogurt and that is one lip-smackin' good shake!
Caution: You might become addicted :)
