Notes: Like many people these days, I am trying to get more protein and fiber in my diet.   I was craving banana bread, so I thought I’d try to make a smoothie to match those great flavors.   Besides being delicious, this smoothie features 7 g fiber and 21 g protein.  Plus, it’s got a nutritious boost of calcium – almost 30% of my daily requirement.
