    Has anyone ever tried that PB2 powder in smoothies? Close to where I live is a meal-prep store called SupperThyme, and the owner told me about PB2. It's all-natural peanut butter in powder form, with the oils taken out. Supposed to be good in smoothies/shakes. Just curious if anyone's used it before. They also have a choco/peanut butter flavor too. They sound yummy!

    Here's a link (Bell Plantation is the company that makes it):

    I have a smoothie nearly every day for breakfast with a small portion of oatmeal. I'm always changing the main fruit in it so I don't get sick of them. Here's my basic recipe:

    * vanilla whey powder (I know it seems expensive for me it was cheaper and easier than yogurt because it has a MUCH longer shelf life.)
    * water/ice
    * frozen fruit (assuming it's cheaper and easier than fresh where you are). My favorite combo is cherry with a few peaches.
    * frozen banana (I freeze my own - I've read that banana's are better for you when they're still a bit green - less sugar or some crap like that)
    * baby food: Gerber 2nd foods - sweet potato, squash & carrots work best. You cannot even taste it. DO NOT USE PEAS! That taste cannot be covered trust me!!

    I used to add sugar in the raw for added sweetness, but I've weaned myself off of it. I make a big batch once a week and freeze off 12 oz portions. It's much better fresh, but there's no way I'd make them every morning or be able to keep them small enough for just me.

    I haven't been able to find persimmons for a couple weeks now. But when I could I loved this recipe:


    SERVES 2...about 2 10 ounce glasses
    1 persimmon
    1/2 an avocado
    1 banana
    2 scoops of SHOW ME THE WHEY protein powder
    1 cup milk
    1/2 cup fat free yogurt


    Sooooo good!

    I'm a chocolate lover, so this is my favorite...

    1 frozen banana (I run it under hot water for easy peeling, or 10 seconds in the microwave)
    1/2 cup fat free vanilla yogurt (sometimes I use greek yogurt if I have it)
    1 tbsp cocoa (unsweetened)
    1 tbsp peanut butter (I use all natural)

    you can add a bit of milk to make it smoother, but I eat it like ice cream..yummy!

    1 C almond milk
    1 T peanut butter
    1 T flax seeds
    1 scoop protein powder (I currently have cinnabun flavored powder!)
    2 strawberries (or other kind of fruit)

    Drink an hour or two before bed. Totally kills my desire to snack late at night!
