“Sophie’s Healthy Chocolate Smoothie Recipe”

Lisa:  Hello all!  A few years ago, John initiated a very bad tradition of buying super-thick chocolate “milkshakes” from that well-known fast food chain with whom we are all too familiar!  Even worse, he lured Sophie into participating in this ritual!  Grrr….Well, no more!  Sophie and I have discovered our own healthier version of this popular drink.  In our household, every smoothie recipe begins with a ripe, frozen banana.  As the frugal shopper that I am, I’m excited to report that, since I began freezing ripe bananas (peel them first!), I’ve not thrown away a rotten one in several years!  Take it away, Sophie!

Sophie:  Ok Mom. Here is our recipe.

1 frozen banana

1 teaspoon cocoa powder

1 teaspoon natural peanut butter

1 cup almond milk

Blend in blender until smooth.  Goodbye folks!
