Smoothies.
We love them.
You can easily hide fill them with healthy ingredients and they are a quick on-the-go option for meals.
I recently started using the Hamilton Beach Smoothie Smart blender, and I love that it has a smoothie button to help take the guess work out of blending these yummy creations. For me, that means it’s really easy for my 9 and 13 year old boys to make their own smoothies.
This chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie is Michael’s favorite. We always add protein powder so we feel a little better about him wanting these every day after school. All in all, it’s not a horribly bad snack. And for those nights when Mom is craving a milkshake, this is a great substitute.
Ingredients for this chocolate smoothie:
- ice
- banana
- milk
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- chocolate syrup
- peanut butter (or if you’re like my 13yo, just add half the jar)
- Some optional ingredients are protein powder or a handful of spinach or kale.

I like Micheal’s idea – and I would totally do the half a jar of peanut butter too. :)
On a side note – I love seeing your cups of drinks you make because the chocolate on the side in a swirly design makes it look all kinds of pretty.

I love strawberry mango smoothies.
Love this! I’m always curious how other people smoothie (can that be a verb?). I shared my daily morning smoothie process on my Breakfast of Champions post- but I also have an after-gym favorite: Ice, half a banana, skim milk and a spoonful (or 2) of crunchy PB. It always hits the spot after a workout.
We need a new blender – ours is leaking!
My favorite smoothie is strawberry, mango, apple juice, spinach, and flax seed.
Blueberries, banana and soymilk smoothies are my favorite

This exact smoothie, but make it green with spinach. Close second is any type of berry smoothie.
