We call this Brown Monkey Juice, and my 4 yo adores it! Very simple to make, and a great use for those bannanas the kids won't eat, because of the "yucky brown spots" Even Mommy likes it!

You definitely have a great smoothie recipe here, even if I did leave out the ice cubes as is my usual preference ~ I did, however, double the recipe for 2 of us & used 1 ripe & frozen banana for each of us! A real keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed as part of my chocolate theme in Comfort Cafe]

Wonderful! This was a great late-night snack for me. Far better than that bag of potato chips! :) Thanks for posting!

Anu, another fantastic yummy smoothie! I had this for dinner tonight, and I was dying to have peanut butter(just a tsp). I looked at ur peanut butter banana smoothie too and it was real hard deciding which one to make. But, choco had some jumbo power in it, I guess, and I am glad, SO GLAD, I made this smoothie. A real winner! Thanks in truckloads for sharing this, LOVED IT REALLY! Yummy!!:) P.S. I did not add cinnamon. Rest is all same.
