Gathering Your Artistic Supplies (Ingredients)
- 1 large ripe banana, sliced and frozen
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter (or peanut powder)
- 2-4 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or your favorite protein add-in)

Blending Your Masterpiece

The Beauty of Flaxseeds
“Flaxseeds are nutritional powerhouses,” says Sarah Jones, a registered dietitian and author of “The Power of Plant-Based Eating”. “They’re packed with fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are all essential for good health.”
Did you know? Ground flaxseeds are easier to digest than whole flaxseeds, allowing your body to absorb more nutrients.
