This healthy milkshake smoothie combines cocoa powder, frozen bananas, yogurt, peanut butter and coconut milk for a decadent drinking experience.
Smoothies are everywhere. Especially green ones. It’s not often you’ll see one that looks like it belongs in your favorite ice cream shop. Especially one that’s filled with healthy ingredients, but that’s what I’m giving you today with my Healthy Milkshake Smoothie.
I’ll be honest, I’d rather eat my greens in a big, crunchy salad than slurp them through a straw. I know the green smoothie has legions of fans and believe me, I’ve really tried to hoist myself on that bandwagon. I’ve tried them with baby spinach and kale, mixed with frozen bananas and mangoes, made with copious amounts of cranberry juice to hide their distinctive hue. But no matter what, I can taste the green. Those greens mock me through their otherwise sweet disguise.
So, despite my best efforts, this is the smoothie I always come back to. It’s a complete breakfast for me (with black coffee on the side) for under 400 calories. That’s a whole meal that drinks like a peanut butter and chocolate ice cream dream. It’s not a calorie-bomb snack sitting atop the delicate balance that is my daily calorie count.
