Chocolate-Peanut Butter-Banana Smoothies (Cooking for 2)

Peanut Butter Passion

Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats from nuts may help lower blood cholesterol. But fats are high in calories so keep portions small.

Substitution

You can use vanilla soymilk instead the chocolate for a slightly different smoothie taste.

This was a good recipie! I didn't use chocolate milk. Also, I used a fresh banana, and it wasn't as cold as I would have liked. I didn't taste the peanut butter. My little cousin and my grandfather loved it! A recipie for everyone!

Only Tasted Banana

I used vanilla soy milk and sugar free chocolate syrup and added a few ice cubes. Not as thick as I would of liked and the banana was really the only flavor I tasted. Was hoping to taste more of the chocolate and peanut butter flavors. It was o.k. but a lot of calories to use on a drink that isn't filling.

YUMMY

When I first came across this recipe, I was skeptical. I'm not a fan of soy milk in any shape, form or flavor. I decided to give it a try anyway, and wow!! It was amazing. I will definitely continue to make this for a quick chocolate fix.

Wow!

This smoothie was so fast and easy to make but more importantly it was fantastic. We made this as a dessert and it was a hit for everyone in my family, especially my two year old. I love that she can get all the protein with such a great flavor. I will keep this recipe and use it often.
