Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie


Banana. Chocolate. Peanut butter. All whirled together in one great drink.

This month's Crazy Cooking Challenge is Fruit Smoothies!!!

Now, I'm not much of a fruit smoothie person. I like fruit. Love it actually but I don't really care for it together and then having it as a drink is even less appealing to me.

However, this was a smoothie everyone is my house liked. Which made me think maybe they would like more combinations of them as well! 

I made this Coley friendly by using Almond Milk instead of regular cow's milk.We've kept him dairy free for about 15 months now. He's not allergic to milk but there is something within the protein that makes him sick after prolonged exposure to it so we just don't give it to him!

I saw another blogger's recipe for a peanut butter smoothie and thought, hmmm...what if you added chocolate? Glad to see you tried it and it was liked! I will give it a whirl!

I have vowed to make smoothies once a day all summer long, breakfast or a dinner substitute on hot summer days and I can't wait to try ALL of the Crazy Cooking Challenge recipes from this month. Thanks so much for participating.
