Superfood Chocolate Protein Smoothie

This smoothie makes a great afternoon snack for my often ravenous boys and has been sustaining my sister as she recovers from sinus surgery.  This is my favorite combination, but if you don’t have all the ingredients, try some substitutions. The cocoa and bananas help cover all kinds of interesting flavors.

Instructions

1. Blend all ingredients on high until smooth.  Since bananas are the main sweetener, start with two and add more if it isn’t sweet enough.  If you don’t have frozen bananas or blueberries, start with some ice and fill your blender to 2 cups to keep the smoothie cool.

Recipe Notes

I always freeze my greens in ziploc bags as soon as I get them home from the store.  That way they are always fresh and ready when I need them and I don’t lose any to the wilty mess in the bottom of the bag.
