Have I ever mentioned that I typically live off of smoothies, especially in the summer? Now that the weather is getting warmer they are back to being a part of my regular meal planning rotation. I created this smoothie on Saturday, after my 10 mile run. I wanted something quick and simple, to allow my muscles to begin recovering. A few week’s ago I won a sample of My Mix Protein Powder from Megan’s blog, so I wanted to include that as my main source of protein.
I used frozen bananas, blackberries, and spinach to ensure that my smoothie was nice and cold without having to add ice. (I usually just keep a bag of spinach in the freezer.)
As I said above, I used My Mix Protein Powder, which is chocolate flavored. Any chocolate protein powder will work!
And of course, a big scoop of peanut butter!
I love that smoothies are ready to go in less than 5 minutes, and the only real clean-up involved is washing the blender.
This smoothie is perfect post-run, for breakfast, or as a snack any time of day! Hope you enjoy it if you give it a try!

I love the addition of blackberries – and it makes the color so rich! Thanks for linking to Sunday Smoothie!
Thanks for hosting! I’ve been making random smoothie creations all the time, but now I just need to remember what I put in them, and take a couple pictures:)
That looks awesome, Lisa! I think after my long hill run today I might have to try it!
Hope you like it:)
Yay! Glad you’re enjoying it! The smoothie looks delicious, and good for you for getting in a 10-miler! 🙂
I really like it so I’ve actually been using smaller scoops so that it lasts longer! I think I will end up buying some after its gone…but I will need to make it last a looong time:)
This looks super yummy!
May try some sort of almond butter or sun butter version, looks really good!
I bet almond butter would taste great!(I’m not really familiar with sun butter). Hope you enjoy:)
Looks delicious! Anything with bananas and peanut butter is great in my book. Also, the mug you are drinking with is awesome.
Yes bananas and peanut butter are an amazing combo!
Can’t wait to try this!
I usually cut my spaghetti squash in half, poke holes it, then flip it so the flesh is upside down. Seem to work best!
Thanks! That’s a great tip.
