Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

I woke up this morning to the rattie boys buried under their cage blankets.

Silly boys.

Weekends have always seemed too short for me. I’m always promising myself that I’ll catch up on everything on the weekend, but all that ends up happening is I curl up on the couch and read my book. Or, even better, curl up on the couch while reading my book and drinking my favorite smoothie.

Wait… did I hear you say smoothie? Yep! And not just any smoothie, this one is a chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie.

I don’t know about you, but for me the peanut butter banana combination never seems to get old. I have it on toast, in oatmeal, you name it. And taking one of the best combos in history and adding one of the best foods in the universe -chocolate- to it? Perfection.

When I saw this recipe, I HAD to make it. No “ifs” “ands,” “ors,” or “buts” about it.

As you can see, I couldn’t even wait to take a picture before I slurped half of this down.

  Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

• 2/3 cup milk, soymilk, or milk of choice
• 1 banana, frozen
• 1-2 TBs peanut butter, depending on how nutty a flavor you want ( I just dumped in a spoonful)
• 1 TB unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 TB ground flax (optional)
• ice (if needed, for a thicker/colder smoothie)

Add add ingredients and blend until smooth. Enjoy!

Blending...

All gone :(

Sometimes you just need a big glass of chocolaty bliss to complete the day.
