Candy Cane Smoothie

I LOVE peppermint especially with a touch of sweetness. Candy Canes are a go-to flavour at the holidays so this morning I decided to try out a Candy Cane Smoothie. I think this one is my new favourite!

Candy Cane Smoothie

makes 1

Ingredients:
1 scoop of vanilla protein
1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
2 X 1" chunk of frozen banana
1/2 tsp of peppermint extract
1 tsp of vanilla extract
sprig of mint (if you feel like being fancy :)
couple of ice cubes

Blend all of the ingredients (except the mint sprig) in your magic bullet or blender, pour and top with mint and you're good to go!!

**TIP: I hate having the 'half-cut' banana on my counter, so for those of us who don't use whole bananas at a time, take some bananas, break them into 1" chunks and freeze them. That way you can easily grab one of two pieces for your smoothie, get the great texture of the banana in your smoothie but not have to look at the brown banana on your counter until you finally use it up. You'll also never need to worry about having fresh bananas on hand!
