Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
Oh this is like drinking dessert for breakfast! Nothing like a chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie to get me going for the day. It’s so thick and creamy and satisfies my sweet tooth.
Why smoothies are great for breakfast
I like drinking smoothies as the first meal of the day because they’re a great way to wake up my digestive system. Consuming a nutrient-rich smoothie like this chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie for breakfast is a great way to slowly get your digestive system going. When you drink a smoothie, a lot of the food is broken down already because it’s in liquid form so it doesn’t require as much energy for your system to digest it.

This chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie is not only delicious, but it’s also very healthy. It’s packed with flax and cacao, two powerful superfoods.
Flax is a great source of fiber, protein and omega-3 fatty acids. It’s also packed with a ton of other beneficial vitamins and minerals.
