chocolate monkey

While in GA, our friends introduced us to a smoothie they make often called: THE chocolate monkey.

It's awesome (and vegan if you want it to be!):

• one banana (we find the riper, the better, like brown is a good thing=sweeter)
• two big spoon fulls of peanut butter...little less than a 1/4 cup
• vanilla, about a tsp
• two tbsp cocoa, (I like mine real cocoa-y and kinda bitter so I add more)
• one cup milk (dairy, soy, almond, breast) (just kidding about the breast)
• Ice, probably about a cup of cubes?

Then you blend it all up, adding milk/ice as needed. If the bananas aren't over ripe, then add some honey to taste. Its about 500 cal FYI, so a good breakfast right? Three a day and your meals are covered!

And now for Eden after enjoying a chocolate monkey:

And I love her.
