Chocolate Banana Almond Smoothie

This particular recipe might not actually be blog-worthy, but I was experimenting with the addition of organic almond butter. You already know my FAVORITE smoothie, but I don't need the small amount of caffeine from the Chai at this time of night. The addition of almond butter to a plain chocolate banana smoothie gave the drink a nice sweet quality, without tasting sugary. If you don't like your smoothies/shakes to be too sweet, you might give it a try.


Aunt Melissa's Easy Chocolate Almond Smoothie:

Ice
2 scoops Trader Darwin's Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
1/2 ripe banana
1 Tablespoon Trader Joe's Organic Almond Butter
approx. 1 cup organic milk

Blend.

This turned out only mildly sweet, yet satisfying. Next time, I think I'll substitute Pacific Food's organic Almond non-dairy beverage in place of the milk in order to kick up the nuttiness factor.
