Here we go again. Another smoothie recipe. I can't help myself, they're just so good.
And quick, and easy, and healthy.
There's been a lot of smoothie goodness coming out of my blender lately, and this chocolate peanut butter banana combo is a keeper. One of the boys said it tastes like Reese's Puffs cereal.
Which amazes me, because I swear I've only bought that stuff like, twice. Clearly it made an impression.
I wonder if I'll ever hear anyone say "Mmmm, this tastes just like that healthy whole grain sugar free cereal you always buy."
Doubt it.
But if they ask for more smoothies like this one, because it tastes more like a treat than a healthy meal replacement, I'm good with that.

Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie
2 small or 3 medium bananas (I use over-ripe, frozen bananas, they're super sweet!)
1 scoop (1/3 cup) chocolate protein powder*
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
1 tbsp hemp seeds
1 1/2 - 2 cups milk of choice
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
*If you don't have chocolate protein powder, use vanilla flavoured protein powder and add 1 tbsp of cocoa powder.

My teenager would love this - so would I!
ReplyDeleteI have everything except the hemp seeds so I think I'll be making this for sure. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us at #Overthemoon I always love healthy recipes.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your smoothie recipe at Snickerdoodle Sunday. The flavor combination sounds delicious. Pinned and Tweeted.
ReplyDeleteI make this with chocolate protein powder, almond milk, pb, and bananas. I bet it would be even better with the yogurt and hemp seeds. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how pleased I am to see that you have shared this! I am definitely giving it a try :) x
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I love the combination of peanut butter and bananas. We need to try this. Thanks for the fabulous recipe!

This looks delicious :) Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday!
ReplyDeleteI gotta get some protein powder. We are becoming smoothie crazy in this house, but my kids always want ice cream in theirs!! no no no - mama is trying to be healthier. Plus, everyone knows you put ice cream in Root Beer! duh. :)
ReplyDeleteYum! This sounds good....and pretty healthy! I don't have hemp seeds. Do you recommend substituting anything or just leaving them out?
ReplyDeleteI am going to try this, I am a big shake fan. I hate eating breakfast so have smoothies instead. Thanks for sharing. #abitofeverything
ReplyDeleteI'm going to pass on this recipe to my husband who loves smoothies and anything with peanut butter in it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to try this recipe. I'm trying to eat healthier and have been looking at smoothies like this. #TopTipsTuesdays
ReplyDeleteI have been on a smoothie kick, and this is super simliar to one of my favorite recipes. I don't use hemp seeds, or any other seeds for that matter, but the rest is spot on! I also bump up the protein with greek yogurt. Usually those 80 or 100 calorie versions! Thanks for linking up with us this week at The Wednesday Showcase!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great recipe I'd love to try! Thank you for sharing at Brag About It! Shared :)
