A banana, chocolate and peanut butter smoothie makes a delicious way to jumpstart the day.
A tasty and filling treat, a banana, chocolate and peanut butter smoothie provides potassium, fiber, protein and calcium, making it a good choice for a quick breakfast. You can also enjoy one as an afternoon snack or appropriate hot weather dessert. Using frozen ingredients and ice cubes yields a thick consistency similar to a milk shake. For a smoother beverage, omit the ice. You can also add wheat germ, flax seeds, protein powders and other nutrition boosters. Double the ingredients for two servings.
Instructions
1. Break the frozen banana into chunks and put them in the blender.
2. Add the peanut butter, chocolate syrup and milk or yogurt to the blender.
3. Blend the ingredients on high for 1 minute.
4. Add ice, 1/2 cup at a time, and blend on high until the smoothie reaches your desired consistency.
5. Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass and serve it with a straw.
