Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake

A shake for breakfast? Why not when it’s healthy, right? This banana shake consists of six basic ingredients you likely always keep on hand and it can be ready in no time. Chocolate and peanut butter? count me in!

How could this not be good though? It has three of the best flavors, banana, peanut butter and chocolate all together in one decadent morning treat.

Note that the sweetness of this smoothie comes from the ripeness of the bananas so be sure to use some that are well ripened. If you still would like it a little bit sweeter you could add in a little honey or cut back a touch on the cocoa powder.

This is one creamy, protein rich smoothie you are going to love!

What You Need To Make This Banana Shake;

Overripe bananas

Almond milk

Ice

Peanut butter

Unsweetened cocoa powder

Vanilla extract

Why Overripe Bananas?

As bananas ripen they get sweeter and sweeter. There are two benefits of using them in this shake, one you don’t need to throw away your overripe bananas and waste food. Two, the sweetness from the bananas helps sweeten this shake naturally which is always great. If you need extra sweetness go for honey or another natural sweetener to keep this banana shake as healthy as can be!

A healthy, decadent shake that makes the perfect easy breakfast. Brimming with rich chocolate and peanut butter flavor and sure to satisfy.

Ingredients

2 large overripe bananas , peeled, sliced and frozen*

*The overripe bananas will add the sweetness for the smoothie so use some that have a generous amount of speckles, don't use black bananas though those are just gross.
