The other day I was searching for new recipes, and I came across this amazing smoothie. If you love the chocolate/peanut butter/banana combination, then you are going to be obsessed with this drink! The original recipe that I found was a great, skinny version. The only problem is that I don't have chocolate soy milk on hand, so I modified it into a slightly less-skinny version. It's still incredibly delicious!
Below I'm going to post the original recipe by TheMessyBakerBlog, and then I'll include my few adaptations. I also added slightly more milk, because I thought it was way too thick--almost like mud!
When I told my parents about this recipe, and I mentioned that frozen bananas were a main ingredient, I thought they were going to fall over when I said that I have individual bags of banana slices in my freezer! I don't think they ever thought that would come out of my mouth :) I guess you could say that they didn't really see me turning into a Betty Crocker! I truly love being a wife and cooking all the time!

To freeze the bananas, place parchment paper on a cookie tray. Slice the banana(s) and lay the pieces in a single layer on the tray. Freeze about 2 hours, and put the banana slices in individual freezer bags. These are great to have on a warm day for a quick treat!!
