The best smoothie

Every day, for the last few years, I've made a smoothie to replace breakfast. Here's the recipe for others who may be interested. It was shared with me by a local coffee shop, and I've tweaked the ingredients a bit based on what I like.

Recipe for 3 people

• 5 bananas
• 3 cups milk
• 8 ice cubes
• 2 ½ cups frozen blueberries
• 1/4 cup unsweetened peanut butter
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 scoops chocolate pea based protein powder
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
• 1 cup kale (optional)
• 3 dates for sweetener (optional)

A few notes:

• I blend all this in our Vitamix, and my split between my son, daughter, and myself. It's a very generous serving and replaces a meal for me.
• If you have a less powerful blender blend up everything else first (minus the ice and blueberries), and slowly add those in with the blender running on medium-high.
