Chocolate Dream Shake

In the mood for a good-for-you sweet treat? Frozen bananas make this dreamy shake extra creamy. If you’re feeling adventurous, add some peanut butter for a yummy peanut butter, banana, and chocolate treat.

    4 cups frozen bananas, cut into 2-inch chunks
    1 cup soy milk, rice milk, or other nondairy milk
    3 Tbsp. cocoa or carob powder
    2 Tbsp. maple syrup
    1 tsp. vanilla

• Thaw the frozen banana chunks for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Toss all the ingredients into the blender and puree for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
• For a thinner shake, add extra soy milk. For an extra treat, try adding almond or peppermint.
