Healthy Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Banana Smoothie

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and was able to get out and be active in this fabulous weather!

If you're looking for a DELICIOUS (almost dessert-like) and healthy smoothie to kick off your day that keeps you full & energized throughout the ENTIRE morning, then this recipe is for you! I made this a few mornings last week, and it kept me full straight until 1:30 PM! It is packed with PROTEIN and fiber, and will give you a dose of calcium.

Here's the recipe. Enjoy!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

1 medium-sized banana (cut into pieces for easier blending)
1 scoop chocolate-flavored whey protein
1-2 PORTIONED tablespoons of natural peanut butter or your favorite nut butter
2-3 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk (depending on how thick or thin you want it to be, keep in mind you can always add more)


Blend thoroughly and drink slowly with a straw. You can also throw in some old-fashioned oats for even more fiber and staying power! (Not pictured.)

Happy sipping! Yum! :-)

    1. Hi Cindy! It IS delicious!!! Let me know how it comes out for you! (And my recommendation is to start with 2 cups of almond milk and add more if you like it thinner.) Thanks for the nice compliment! I would love for you to pop in one of my classes next time you are in town! Hope all is well with you! :-)
