Shake of The Day: Tropical Banana

THIS ON IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE! As a matter of fact, it was also my lunch today. Perfect for the on the go mommy :) What you will need:

1 cup low fat or non-fat milk, soymilk or almond milk
1 small banana (frozen or fresh)
1/4 cup FROZEN mangoes, NO sugar added (the frozen ones are what's going to make it thick like a milkshake)
1/4 tsp coconut extract (I use imitation since I am allergic to coconut)
1 heaping scoop of  vanilla 100% Whey protein powder (Optimum Nutrition is my favorite)
* You can even throw in a few frozen pineapple chunks if you want a more tropical flavor!

Mix it all together in a blender on high until completely smooth and thick. I use the Oster 'My Blend' personal mixer/blender (you can buy them on Amazon). It is an individual-sized blender and sport bottle in one that is designed to fit your active, fast-paced lifestyle. With quick and convenient one touch blending, you can create your favorite smoothies, protein shakes, and more to enjoy at home, on a run, or at the office. It comes with one 20-ounce BPA-free plastic sport bottle, but I ordered the cups in every color, LOVE THEM (my orange one is in the picture) The blades never get dull either!
