Chocolate Banana Smoothie

This is very healthy as well as satisfying and has less calories than ice cream and it's all natural.

What you will need:
Blender or Ninja Mixer *I use both*
Glass or Drinking Cup
Straw *Optional*

What You Will Need:
Measuring Spoons
Measuring Cup
Blender or Ninja

Ingredients:
1-Banana medium frozen
1-Tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2-Tablespoons PB2 (Powdered Peanut Butter) less calories than regular peanut butter.
1-Cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk *Unflavored is fine as well*
1/3-Crushed Ice *Optional, the ice makes it thicker like ice cream*
2-Tablespoons Whipped Cream *Optional*

Directions:
Add the frozen banana and the other ingredients in to your Ninja or Blender.  Mix well.  Put into a drinking cup or glass.  Add the whipped cream on top. Put in the straw and enjoy!

My recipe has 190-calories with 2-Tablespoons of Whipped Cream, at 2 3/4-Cups. Not too bad compared to 1/2-Cup of ice cream which has at least 150-calories or more depending on the flavor and contents. Note:  If you change my original ingredients the calories will increase.

You can substitute the PB2 for regular peanut butter or even Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, you know the name brand I mean. Wink...wink. Decrease or increase the ingredients to your personal taste.
