Peanut Butter and Chocolate Banana Smoothie

I have a confession to make.  I can't stand lunch.  As far as the three meals go...lunch is by far my least favorite.  Unless I'm in the south of France drinking a nice rosé with some oysters on the side - I'm not interested in lunch.  Unfortunately, I don't frequent the Côte d'Azur very often (meaning never) and usually I make a meal out of my daughters grilled cheese or peanut butter and jelly crusts.  Which surprisingly isn't as bad as it sounds but there isn't much nutritional value there.  I need something that is quick, tasty and nutritious.  This little smoothie is a great combination.  It has your good fat, protein, and fruit.  It's quick and delicious...I just might become a lunch person.  Next up, I'll invent a rosé smoothie!  Enjoy and I'm sure your kiddos are going to want some sips of your smoothie too!  

All of the ingredients you need for the smoothie minus the cocoa powder and the ice.  Super easy.
