Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Smoothie

All the good stuff is right here!

All the good stuff is right here!

At the first of the year my husband, Mom and I decided that together we would walk or run 2016 miles in 2016 – how’s that for a challenge?!! Although that sounds like a big number when you break it down between three people, it’s really quite do-able.

My 74 year old Mom contributes about 9 miles every week – my hubby and I put in about 18-20 each. By my calculations, given a sick day and vacation here & there – we should achieve this goal by October or so. But you know I figure if my 74 year old Mom can do it….I certainly can put in my share! It’s fun to do together because we report our miles at the end of the week and it encourages you to put in a few more miles each week because we are all depending on each other.

Having said that, it is a big commitment – consistency is the key and now that we are in May it makes it even a bit more challenging. For me consistency comes in several ways, whether that is the amount of exercise I get daily or beginning my day with the right fuel for my body.

For me, grab-n-go food just doesn’t work. I need protein and that’s why I enjoy grabbing a quick smoothie to start my day or after a work out. I have a great smoothie to share with you that includes Jif Creamy Peanut Butter which I love because it offers the protein I need – 7 grams in each servings! Dannon Vanilla Lowfat Yogurt – so delicious made with only natural ingredients (I actually use yogurt quite often in salad dressings), a frozen banana, honey and cocoa powder – into the Oster® Blend-N-Go® MyBlend® – such a great blender for making smoothies – you can just fill, blend & go!

I found everything I needed at my local Walmart.

  15. We are huge consumers of peanut butter in our home. I like putting it in some Thai food occassionally. It always turns out great. Your Smoothie recipe looks so delicious.

    • Thank you so much! We really enjoy that smoothie – yesterday though I added an extra banana and whizzed it up in the blender & froze it. Best no churn ice-cream ever! 😀
