Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

Yesterday, I was really craving something sweet, so the boys and I had Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothies for a snack, and it more than satisfied that craving. Thick smoothies like this are perfect as a meal substitution or potent snack, they're a great way to up your protein during Lent, and my kids love them.

Notes

Makes three 16-ounce servings.
The whey powder will come with its own measuring scoop. If you don't have whey powder, you can use one envelope of Carnation Instant Breakfast.
I use a natural peanut butter that is enhanced with flax seed and wheat germ, then sweetened with honey. You can add some flax seed or wheat germ to this recipe, if you want, and if you feel like it needs some more sweetness, you can add a teaspoon or two of honey.
