I used almond milk with a little chocolate syrup, left out the protein powder(I figured the peanut butter gave me enough protein). Thanks for a nice breakfast drink! Made for the Australian Swap-June 2010.

What a perfect way to start the day. I used almond milk flavored with lite chocolate syrup. Other than that, I followed the recipe as written. Fast and easy to make and tastes great. Made for June, 2010 Aus/NZ Swap.

*Reviewed for Aus NZ Forum Recipe Swap April 2010* Made this for my husband and youngest daughter for afternoon tea- they both loved it. I used vanilla yogurt and choc milk. Quick and easy. Photo also to be posted

As is most often usual with smoothies I make, I left out the ice, & instead provided the 'chill-&-frost' factor with a frozen banana! Used fat-free vanilla yogurt & all the other ingredients, though, & had A GREAT TASTING SMOOTHIE! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed as a recipenap in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #37]
