Almond Butter Banana Protein Smoothie

Adapted from EatingWell's Almond Butter and Banana Protein Smoothie

Ingredients
1 small frozen banana
3/4 c. skim milk
1.5 T. almond butter
1-2 scoops whey protein powder, enough to add 20g protein
½ t. ground Saigon cinnamon
2 drops almond extractg
5 ice cubes

Directions
Blend and enjoy!

DIY Smoothie Pack Directions
Blend everything except the ice and protein powder and freeze silicon 1 oz. ice cube trays. 6 cubes + protein powder in a zipper bag.  Freeze.  Empty the bag into a blender.  Add 3/4 c. water and blend.  Let the smoothie pack contents thaw before blending if you have an older blender, or want a less thick smoothie.  Adding the protein powder thickens and "bulks" the smoothie and I haven't measured how it changes the volume in my DIY smoothie cubes.
