Chocolate Banana Smoothies

Chocolate-Banana-Smoothies-008-text
Raise your hand if you wish you could have a milkshake for breakfast. I can’t be the only one with my hand up, right? Well, I think I have the closest possible thing with these Chocolate Banana Smoothies. Oh, but they’re not nearly as unhealthy as a milkshake. They’re actually kind of good for you.

As far as texture and flavor, they kind of remind me of Frosty from Wendy’s. Of course, they’re not as sweet, because there’s no ice cream and not much chocolate in these (we can’t actually have milkshakes for breakfast after all), but they’re definitely a Frosty-esque type of smoothie. I can’t really say enough good things about these – they’re delicious and you’ve got to try them!

    My favorite combination! I’ve also heard that putting Carnation Instant in as the chocolate is good. But I’ve yet to try any. Maybe after I’ve found my blender in the chaos of our house šŸ˜›
