Healthy Peanut Butter Wrap with Apple

This is a healthy wrap I use for breakfast because it's a perfect balance of fruit, healthy fats, protein and fiber.  I don't personally eat a lot of fruit except in the mornings, but this can also be a well balanced lunch or afternoon snack that will boost your energy.  The trick is finding the low carb tortillas.  When I say low carb, what you want is high fiber.  The carb count is not all that different, but the high fiber counteracts the carbs you ingest.

2 tbsp. natural peanut butter
1 banana
1 tbsp. Manuka honey

1. Spread peanut butter over on 1/2 side of the tortilla.
2. Slice the banana into thin slices and cover the peanut butter side.
3. Drizzle with honey over the banana slices.

Tip: If you are taking this as a to-go breakfast or snack, I recommend carrying honey in a separate container or baggie, until you are ready to eat.  Otherwise it will run all over the place after some time.

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Smoothie

<img src="Lisa-Machos.jpg" alt="Lisa Machos" <img src="That-Sexy-Dish.jpg" alt="That Sexy Dish"
I love this smoothie when I'm craving chocolate or sweets, and although I use it as breakfast, it can be used as a healthy dessert alternative too.  I include Manuka honey for its many health benefits, but have enjoyed the recipe excluding the honey as well, as it can be an expensive addition.
