Banana Breakfast Shake

So I have a really hard time eating breakfast in the morning. If I try and eat breakfast it takes me 3-4 hours after I wake up to actually do it. I don't know why I have such a hard time, but I do. A month or so ago, a friend and I were talking about how he makes shakes for breakfast, he loads them up with a bunch of stuff and they last him till 1 or 2 in the afternoon. He has the NurtiNinja, and said it did a great job. His wife commented on how it blends up the seeds in strawberries. So I went to check it out. It was on sale at my local Walmart. So I bought it. Since then I have breakfast shakes. It has made a huge difference in my day. So I am going to share my favorite. I have this one at least twice a week. I adapted this from a shake I found from Google, that I cant actually find anymore. The original recipe called for a lot more almond milk and peanut butter. This is more fix friendly.

8oz of unsweetened almond milk

1 banana

2 tsp peanut butter

1/4 cup of old fashioned oats (At this point I just put in a small handful and say it is about 1/4 cup.)

Ice- The amount of ice is up to you. I like mine really thick so I add a lot of ice. 

I used to blend the almond milk and the oats first, and then add the banana and peanut butter, which I blended again. In fact that is how I made my husband's shake this morning. I ran out of time this morning making my own shake and had to run my eldest to school. So I left the oats in the almond milk for about 20 minutes before returning home and finishing my shake. This made the oats blend in a lot smoother. So if your blender is less powerful, or you want your shake smoother that is the way to go. Probably something I will start doing in the future. So there you go. My go to breakfast.
