Notes

Want more protein? Use cows milk, soy milk or add a few tablespoons of low-fat cottage cheese.
Lower calorie option: Swap the peanut butter for peanut butter powder (like PB2).
Sweetness: Depending on how sweet your bananas and protein powder are, you may not need to add the honey. You can also add a couple of pitted dates in place of the honey for sweetness and fiber.
