Peanut Butter Smoothie

My friend Laura introduced me to my most recent obsession/addiction: this lovely Peanut Butter Smoothie. As in, I've had one every afternoon for the past 4 days (truth).

It's HOT season right now in India, so a nice cold smoothie just sounds so appealing in the heat of the afternoon. And it's definitely a health bonus to get some Dahi in the system - probiotics are always a good idea to help potential India tummy troubles.

My "measurements" in the recipe below are total guesses - who actually measures anything when making a smoothie? You just scoop and dump in. Except the banana; I do know how to count a banana.

The recipe makes one perfect portion smoothie, like this:

Peanut Butter Smoothie
A few ice cubes (I use about 4)
1 banana
1/2 cup of Dahi/Greek Yogurt
2 TBS peanut butter
1-2 TBS honey
A splash of oatmeal, maybe about 1/4 cup. I love the extra layer of texture (and grains!) it adds

Dump all of the above in a blender, and blend until smooth!
(This makes a fairly runny smoothie, for the record.)
