Chocolate Smoothie

Hello world! I am finally posting my first recipe. I am a baker, all right, but this is a smoothie one of my daughters literally whipped up one rainy afternoon, to satisfy both her thirst and hunger after a hard day's work.

I walked in the kitchen when she was pouring the yummy concoction into two glasses--one for her, and the other for her sister.  Since the original recipe has milk, and I am lactose intolerant, I decided to mix my own frulato (smoothie in Italian). Here's my take on the  Spur of the Moment Rejuvenating Protein Packed Chocolate Smoothie that came to be, all thanks to my bright, savvy, ingenious daughter. I will also include my daughter's original smoothie, following my "healthier", modified version.

Mix the following into a high-speed blender:
(Serves 2)

~1 banana
~2 Tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
~2 Tbs Amazing Grass Outrageous Chocolate Kidz Superfood (Shake mix with greens, fruits, veggies and pre and probiotics)
~2 Tbs Amazing Grass Raw Reserve (organic greens, sea vegetables and probiotics mix)
~Generous shake of cinnamon
~1 tsp peanut butter
~1/2 cup almond milk
~1 cup fresh organic baby spinach leaves
~1 tsp honey (I used royal jelly in honey)

You may add ice cubes, if you prefer the drink cold. And you may adjust the amount of liquid you add to the mix (i.e., almond or regular milk).


My daughter's original recipe is below: 

~1 banana
~2 Tbsp unsweetened cacao powder
~1 1/2 Tbsp Amazing Grass Outrageous Chocolate Kidz Superfood (or any favorite chocolate protein powder or shake mix)
~1 tsp vanilla extract
~Generous shake of cinnamon, or any favorite spice
~Spoonful of peanut butter (I used 1 Tbsp)
~1 tsp honey (can be substituted for any preferred sweetener) 
~Milk (I used just enough to bind the smoothie together)


Enjoy!
