Banana Nutella Smoothie

Banana Nutella Smoothie

• • 1 ripe banana, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 tablespoon Nutella

  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ cup skim milk

  • 1 scoop protein powder

  • 4 ice cubes

Notes:

We like the Muscle Milk protein powder – it packs 16 grams of protein per scoop, and the flavors taste great. For this recipe, I used the “Graham Cracker” flavor. If you don’t have Nutella, you can substitute any nut butter such as all-natural peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, etc. Add a little honey since nut butters are unsweetened and Nutella is sweetened.

Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.

Yields 1 serving.
