I get up very early most days, usually by 4 am.

I’ve always been one to wake up hungry, so usually by 5 am I’ve had my coffee and breakfast.

This means that by 10:30, I am usually ready to eat again. It always feels too early for lunch, so a smoothie is often my go-to snack/second breakfast.

(My other go-to: hummus and carrot chips.)

One of my favorite smoothies is this Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie.

Who can resist the classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter?

I love eating peanut butter by the spoonful, but sometimes it can be hard to stop.  This smoothie is the perfect way to get both my peanut butter fix and my chocolate fix in without blowing my diet.

Chocolate + Peanut Butter + No Guilt = Happy Wendy

I’ve made this recipe without banana, but feel free to throw one in if the urge strikes you.

(One of my boys won’t eat bananas, so it is just easier to leave it out.)

I often double this recipe, and we have smoothies all around!

It is a perfect mid-morning snack for the boys because as you know, teen and tween boys are always hungry. ALWAYS.

Hungry boys tend to give their Mom a lot of grief during homeschooling, so I rely on easy snacks to keep us all going strong.
