Energy-Boosting Smoothie

Banana and peanut butter protein smoothie with wheat germ and cinnamon.

Potassium-rich banana provides the carbohydrates that give you energy, while protein powder and peanut butter help chase away that late-afternoon slump. Pantothenic acid, a B vitamin found in yogurt and honey, helps your body turn food into fuel, and iron-rich wheat germ and cinnamon support the blood’s oxygen levels.
