A Flash back to Valentines Day 2014: In the kitchen with my son and his friend making Valentine "treats" like this delicious smoothie!

Chocolate, peanut butter and bananas are always a great combination. We have created this delicious smoothie that uses peanut butter, banana, and raw cacao powder, along with a few other healthy ingredients.  Raw cacao powder is a 100% dark chocolate source of antioxidants, magnesium, iron and fiber and has the rich chocolate taste without the sugar and processing. This smoothie would be a perfect, healthy treat for a Valentine's Day breakfast.   My son and his friend were great helpers in making the Chunky Monkey Smoothie!  You can always get kids to consume extra nutrients with smoothies!

Ingredients:

• 1 banana, frozen works best
• ½ cup peanut butter
• 2 tablespoon raw cacao powder

•  2 dates
• 2 cups almond milk or other non-dairy beverage of choice

​Directions:
1.    Blend all in a blender until smooth.
