Healthy Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie

I was really in the mood for a peanut butter and banana smoothie so I searched and found several recipes, and ended up creating my own tasty version. This is delicious, full of good nutrients, and it will fill you up! It's packed with protein and not too high in fat (really only the peanut buttter, which is good fat). The serving size is about a cup and I estimated about 293 calories and 9 grams of fat (give or take). Mmm...yummy!!
Ingredients:
1 medium banana (frozen and cut into about 6 chunks)
1/2 c. low-fat soy milk (I used Silk- plain)
1/4 c. non-fat Greek Honey yogurt
1 1/2 Tbs. natural peanut butter (I always use my favorite, Skippy's Natural, Creamy)
2 ice cubes
Directions:
1. Blend all ingredients together in a blender, except for the banana and ice cubes. After first set of ingredients is blended, add banana and ice and blend.
2. Enjoy!
