Who DOESN’T like Peanut Butter, Banana, and Chocolate together? especially when it’s in a healthy milkshake form!?
(please don’t tell me if you can answer yes, I may unknowingly hold something against you)
Just kidding..kinda 🙂
But seriously..back to work after a fun 4th of july weekend..and this is WHAT YOU NEED.
Have you guys eaten the Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey Ice Cream??
It may be one of the best things ever. But lemmme tell YOU, it will surely get you CHUNKY.
Which is why, of course, after tasting this carton of heaven, I had to make a healthier alternative.
Now..they use walnuts. But I decided, adding peanut butter protein and a little peanut butter would be MUCH BETTER. Helllllo heaven.
And with Quest’s new banana protein that just came out, I knew exactly how to get both the banana and peanut butter flavor in there.
Funny how you can turn one of the most fattening desserts into something that could even be used as a POST WORKOUT shake. WHAT.
Yeah. The beauty of recreating unhealthy recipes.
But mmm mmm mmm.
Yet, definitely not the 300 calories, 18g fat, and 28g of sugar that are in a MEASLY 1/2 CUP of the ben and jerrys stuff.
