Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

As promised - here it is - the recipe for my delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie. This makes a great breakfast. Coming soon - fruit smoothie!

What I use is on the left, with possible substitutions shown in parentheses. I don't exactly measure any of this -- experiment to find the right taste and texture for you.

Put in blender:

• 1/2 cup rice milk - can add more later if needed (or milk, soy milk, almond milk)
• 1 cold banana (or frozen banana)
• Natural peanut butter - golf ball sized scoop
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (if your protein powder is plain, add a heaping Tbs. of cocoa)
• 1 scoop vitamin powder of your choice (optional)
• 1 tsp. healthy oil (optional - flax oil, mac nut oil, olive oil)
• 1/4 tsp. powdered stevia (it's an herbal sweetener - or Splenda, or honey)
• 1 cup crushed ice (regular ice)

Blend until smooth. Add a little more milk or some cold water if it's too thick to blend. Pour, pop in a straw or a spoon, enjoy! Serves 1.
