Recipe: Energy Boosting Smoothie That Tastes Like Dessert

You'll be using this one a lot.

Alanna Alexander

Waking up early to make an egg white omelet can be too much on to do on cold morning when your bed is warm and cozy and begging you to stay.

This smoothie will take five minutes, keep you on track with your goals, and get you out the door right on time. It also tastes a lot like dessert: The 100% cocoa powder is an antioxidant, the natural peanut butter is rich in protein and the banana acts as a natural sweetener; and it’s under 245 calories.

We know you’ll be using this as often as we do.

Ingredients

2 tbsp 100% pure cocoa powder

2 tbsp creamy natural peanut butter

1 medium ripe banana

8 oz non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt

4 to 6 ice cubes

Optional: Sprinkle dash of cinnamon or more cocoa powder on top for extra flavor.
