Chocolate+pb+banana smoothie

I promised that I would share more of my smoothie recipes. I had an awesome workout this morning and came home in serious need of something to help me refuel and whipped up this beauty. 

This is one of my favorite smoothies. I totally came up with this concoction on my own a few months ago and it's my go to now. 

 The base? That little milk box. It is so amazing and pre-measured! And what goes better with chocolate than peanut butter and bananas?

I also add some flaxseed meal into my smoothies. It adds fiber and helps keep me going all day long. Trust me, you can't taste it at all. Honest.

 I just throw it all into the bullet cup, add some ice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a little more almond milk and then blend away.

It actually takes everything in my power to not inhale this (the threat of a brain freeze does help though...). This is really a good for you breakfast/lunch/post-workout snack. The banana is super good for you, the pb and milk give you needed protein, and the chocolate well, why not?

chocolate+pb+banana smoothie:
- 1 chocolate coconut milk box*
- 1 banana (frozen or room temp)
- peanut butter**
- 1/2 tbl flaxseed meal
- ice (amount depends on if your banana is frozen)
- vanilla extract and cinnamon
- almond milk (or milk of choice) to help it all blend together

Throw it all in your blender and go to town!

* - I buy mine in an 8 pack at whole foods, but you can use a similar product from a larger jug (aim for about a cup of milk)

** - I used a 1/2 tbl - but use how much you want!

Enjoy!!
