Healthy Breakfast Drink ~ Banana, Peanut Butter & Chocolate Smoothie {Recipe}

19 Flares Filament.io 19 Flares ×

 

With the summer heat, my bananas have started to turn ripe quickly! I decided to whip up a breakfast smoothie for the kids and myself.

 

 

Here is everything you will need to make a banana, peanut butter, chocolate breakfast smoothie.

 

Start by adding ice to a blender and about three very ripe bananas. My little helpers added the bananas!

Then I add a large spoonful of organic smooth peanut butter.

Next add a heaping spoonful of organic (fairly traded) cocoa powder

I normally make the smoothie with unsweetened almond milk, but we were trying out this vanilla Flaxmilk. It adds a little vanilla flavor!

***Also add a spoonful of flax if you have it***

Blend it up!

We all enjoy this healthy breakfast treat!

I am going to be linking up with Mama Chocolate for Delicious Dish Tuesday!

Come check out all the great recipes!

    […] Once we got home, I was sent a full size of each flavor.  My kids weren’t fond of the flaxmilk in their cereal, but I think that is because almond milk tastes more like dairy milk, which they still have at school and other people’s houses. The flaxmilk does have a different taste so it might take you a while to switch over and get used to it. I have used the vanilla in our morning Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate smoothie. The recipe can be found HERE! […]
