Several years ago, Jamba Juice had this smoothie call the "Peanut Butter Moo'd" and it was DELICIOUS! And it should have been delicious because size large had 29 grams of fat, 131 grams of sugar and almost 1000 calories! Ouch.

I don't believe they sell that one anymore.
Today I made a Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie that VitaMix told me about on Facebook. It's pretty good, just not quite as good as the version from Double J, but I shouldn't have too worry as much about diabetes and increasing my BMI!
Today, 'this monkey' will show you how to make a Chocolate PB Smoothie that contains 2 c of Spinach!
WHAT YOU NEED:
1 c Unsweetened Almond Milk (http://www.anymonkeycan.com/2014/08/almond-milk-via-vitamix-1-banana.html)
2 c Baby Spinach
1 Frozen Banana (it is best to peel the banana & cut into 4-5 pieces PRIOR to freezing)
1/2 Bartlett Pear
2 T Natural Peanut Butter (I used my Almond-Walnut Butter http://www.anymonkeycan.com/2013/01/roasted-almond-walnut-butter-via.html)
2 T Cocoa Powder
1 c Ice
WHAT YOU DO:
1. Add the following in this order: Almond Milk, Cocoa Powder, Pear, PB, Frozen Banana, Spinach, and finally the Ice
2. Turn on the VitaMix at level 1 & quickly turn to level 10
3. Turn VitaMix to High & Blend until desired consistency is reached
4. Enjoy!
So technically I made a Chocolate Almond Butter Smoothie...
Until next time, your favorite Neighbor-web monkey!
