Chocolate for Breakfast Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups 2% milk
• 1 1/2 cups vanilla yogurt
• 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
• 1/2 cup creamy seed or nut butter of choice
• 4 bananas, peeled and frozen

Instructions

Place all ingredients into a blender carafe. Place the lid on the carafe and blend on high speed for one minute, or until creamy and smooth. Serve immediately.

Recipe notes: This recipe is easily scaled up or down, as needed. Smoothies may also be made in advance and frozen for later consumption. Simply pour the smoothie into a freezer safe container with a lid--leaving 1 inch of head space--and freeze. Frozen smoothies can double as ice packs in packed lunches, which should reach a slushy, soft serve consistency in about four hours.
