Milk
1 Banana for each person
1 cup of ice for each person (Use the cup or glass you will serve the smoothie in)
Peanut Butter (I used reduced fat because it tastes the same)
Vitamine Enriched Chocolate Powder (Like Ovaltine or Carnation*)
Special equipment: Blender
*You can find these in the breakfast cereal aisle of the grocery store. Although Carnation is delicious, I have ethical issues with the company because the falsely promote their infant formula product as being equal to or superior to breast milk for infants. That being said, I'm using it in these photos because it was all we had in the pantry.
Slice the bananas and save the peels.
Add bananas to the blender.
For each person, add one heaping scoop of peanut butter.
Because peanut butter is so sticky, I use the inside of the banana peel to wipe it off the spoon.
Add crushed ice.
Add chocolate powder.
Pour in milk. You only want enough milk to cover the bottom and allow the blender to work.
Don't forget to put the lid on!
Turn blender on, select pulse and then ice crush.
Pulse until all the ice is crushed and then puree until smooth.
When I pour, I always have a paper towel to prevent it from dripping down the sides of the pitcher.
Everything tastes better with a straw.
Store left-overs in the freezer. Enjoy!
