Today, I thought I would share this quick and delicious protein packed smoothie that you and your kiddos are going to love! Smoothies are so popular in our house! We make smoothies for after school snacks or even a quick breakfast.

In this smoothie, I use ripe bananas, peanut butter, and greek yogurt. I also use a little bit of cocoa powder because I just love chocolate with peanut butter and bananas! This smoothie is so delicious. It even hits the spot when I get a craving for a milkshake or frozen blended coffee drink.

This is such a fun smoothie recipe, and a little change from traditional fruit smoothies. You can play around with this recipe and use what you have on hand. We often substitute vanilla or banana yogurt.
