This is a twist off a drink I served at a restaurant where I worked as a teenager. I tweaked it and added some Greek yogurt to make it more protein friendly.
1 frozen banana
6 oz. Pineapple Juice
1/2 c. Greek yogurt
1/4 c. ice
1 dash vanilla
2 T sugar
Mix it all up into a blender until smooth.
*If I did my math right, this shake should have about 11 g protein.
My grandmother, with whom I share the same middle name, used to sing a little song to me when I was little prior to tickling me with her fingers (which posed as a bee), "There once was a bee who lived in a tree; and all he could do was bzzzzz sting, sting, sting sting...." (then the tickling ensued). This site is in memory of her and the warmth all grandmothers and mothers give in making good food and creating memories in the kitchen.

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 :)
