Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Smoothie
"My kids just LOVE this recipe that we created when the local juice bar went out of business and left us missing our favorite smoothie. It's great for an afternoon pick-me-up and it has protein for children who don't eat as well as you'd wish...."

This was so delicious and a nice change of pace from the typical fruit smoothie. Who doesn't love chocolate and peanut butter? I found I did not have chocolate powder, so I substituted Hershey's chocolate syrup. Other than that, I made the recipe exactly as posted. I generally have all the ingredients on hand, so I have a feeling I will be enjoying this frequently! Thanks for sharing. Made for Spring PAC 2012.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
By day, I torture college students in my public speaking classes, and run the speech tutoring Lab at a local college, and I also deal with my 3 children and make sure my husband keeps our family business on track. Then in my spare time, I still manage to cook, which to me is my "stress relief." I love to try new recipes, and my big challenge in my family is that no one likes to try anything new... my husband has the most basic tastes, and our sons follow him and can barely get themselves to eat those green things, what do they call them, um, vegetables. They swear that hamburgers are vegetable... ha ha. I'm the only one in the family who loves fish and seafood, all kinds of vegetables and fruit - everyone else is take-out pepperoni pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, and fried chicken. UGH! Where did I go wrong! At least the students at my Speech Lab love all those brownies I bake and bring for them.
