Lately, I've been a bit obsessive about my morning fuel. It's the first thing that pops in my head when my eyes open in the morning.
For me, weekday breakfasts have a few prerequisites. They must be quick, they must not require a lot of ingredients and I'd prefer to use as few dishes as possible so I'm able to leave a clean kitchen (without a pile of dishes). This totally fits the bill.
Plus, it incorporates two of my favorite foods- bananas and nut butter*! If you have not yet experienced the splendor of creamy banana-nutty-goodness, you should definitely give it a go. This one goes out to you, Dad. My fellow banana-fanna-fo-fanna-lover for life!
Almond Butter Banana Shake
1 chopped, frozen banana
1 cup almond milk (or any milk you'd prefer)
1 heaping tablespoon almond butter*
Toss the banana, milk and almond butter in your Magic Bullet* (or blender), blend, and drink! Couldn't be easier.

YUM, this sounds amazing! Not to mention quick & easy...perfect for when I'm in rush a rush to get out the door in the morning.
@Kelli It's super quick- especially if you have a Magic Bullet! I just drink it straight from the cup it's blended in and go! :)
you just totally inspired me to make a shake using frozen banana i have left over from a vegan ice cream recipe i did once, and use coconut milk too, and whatever other toppings I have. Thanks for sharing, it looks so good, I can imagine chugging it and not caring about my milk shake mustache =]
@Free Spirit Eater I say throw in some chocolate!! I'm ordering this (http://www.amazon.com/Enjoy-Life-Semi-Sweet-Chocolate-10-Ounce/dp/B000HDJZWO) so I can do just that!!
