Hi there - what a terrific smoothie! I have had one for breakfast three mornings straight! :) I used 2% milk (what I always use), unsweetened raspberry preserves, a little splenda & of course the banana, & the unsweetened cocoa, made it with a little ice in the food processor! Wonderful and am so happy I tried it and thanks for posting it, Diane :) Reviewed it for "I Recommend ....New Thread" on QueenBee49444's review! ;)

This smoothie is wonderful. I did not add the sugar and it was sweet enough for me. Thanks for posting a healthy dessert I can look forward to!

This is pretty good. DD (5 years old) liked it. I added some Q'ia cerial by natures path to make it healthier and liked it for a little energy boost. I used very ripe bananas, cashew butter and water to make a dairy free milk, fair trade organic cocoa powder, &, organic, raw, local honey. Made for Healthy Choices Tag Game 2013.

This was just fabulous! I've made it 3 times in the past week. I used whole milk and real sugar and added an ice cube because I like my smoothies really cold. It was so creamy and chocolatey. The next time I made it I skipped the sugar all together and I thought that was great! I am a dark chocolate lover and the banana added just enough sweetness for me. This would be a great recipe for chocolate lovers looking for healthy ways to enjoy it. Thanks!!!
