banana smoothie boost

Usually by 10 or 10:30 I'm getting desperate for a "pick me up." I've never been able to skip meals or not snack between meals. If I do miss a meal I get really crabby and generally unpleasant to be around.

I saw an episode of Nigella Express a few days ago where she made a banana smoothie and with my new-found love of bananas, I thought it sounded like the perfect mid-morning boost.

Banana Smoothie Boost
alternate title: the anti-crabby smoothie
adapted from this recipe

one frozen banana
2/3 c. almond milk
1 tsp. honey
2 tsp. coffee
shaved chocolate

mix everything but shaved chocolate up in a blender. pour into glass and sprinkle chocolate on top.

Enjoy.
