Yummy, healthy shake

I've tried to be somewhat health-conscious lately. Not really cutting back on a ton of calories, but just making sure my family is getting proper nourishment. I have been adding spinach to a ton of our meals. Since my husband and kids won't eat it, I have resorted to hiding it in things :)

I have chopped it up really fine in my magic bullet and blended it with jelly for pb&j sandwiches, and did the same in spaghetti, and more.

Something I like to make for myself is a smoothie after I work out. It's yummy, filling, and gives me the energy I need. I made it up - so you can alter it however you want.

Frozen banana
Handful of frozen spinach
Breakfast Essentials packet
1/2  or 3/4 cup milk (up to you on how thick you want it)
Spoonful of peanut butter

Throw it all in your blender and blend until smooth. That's it!
Its roughly 470 calories depending on if you use fat-free options. Which is great for a meal replacement option.

Enjoy! -LeeAnn
