I'll give it to you straight out of the little booklet put out by Publications International...using brand name products. It's called Smoothies and Frozen Favourites.
When I make mine...I'll just leave out the chocolate milk... mostly cuz I never have it hanging around..why would I? ...but, it sounds like it would be wonderful just as banana peanut butter.
Here is what they call for:
1 1/2 cups reduced fat (2%) chocolate milk
2 TBSP creamy peanut butter
1 ripe medium banana
2 cups vanilla nonfat yogurt
2 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP ground flaxseed
Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Says it makes 4 one cup servings ...
My observations: I don't think I'd bother with any sugar .. 'specially as I'm trying not to overdo the new guidelines of staying under the 100 grams per day .... there would be a lot of natural sugar already in a banana and the vanilla yogurt.. and, hey...that flax seed sounds a good idea for added fibre to anybody's diet... and, I usually have natural chunky peanut butter..so won't be buying any creamy just to try one of these... chunks of peanuts will do nicely I'm sure... although, they may not get pulverized as much as they should to suck through a straw...hahahha.. who cares? I'll drink it out of the glass.
Maybe later today I will get around to making one of these yummy sounding drinks... it's +24C .... already.....
I'd love to put on a picture but, they didn't have one of this ...if I get around to it..I will take a photo of my own ....
Instead, I give you ..my mango, strawberry, orange smoothie.....with frozen yogurt tossed in... they are soooooo good you may decide to have one a day as we've been doing in the heat wave we're having..... who needs supper after one of these?

Best without sugar, yummy yum.
Yeh, that was my first thought too. Ditch the sugar, we don't need it. By the way we have no problem eating a whole bunch of Asparagus, there's never any left.
I'm definitely with you on leaving out the sugar. Sounds delicious!
I'm afraid I could become addicted to this smoothie. ;)
Thanks for these delicious smoothie recipes. I think I will follow your guidelines as they fit in more with my own. That's the fun part of making smoothies, you can taylor it to your own tastes. Thanks also for stopping by and leaving such nice comments. I've enjoyed my visit here and have put you on my blog-roll blog as I would like to come back.
Excited to try this, yummy and healthy too!
Sounds very yummy!!!
Everything is very open and very clear explanation of issues. was truly information. Your website is very useful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for such a lovely and informative post.
Not big on smoothies myself, but that actually sounds good and would make a nice breakfast or snack. I would forgo the sugar, too. I think there's enough with the banana and peanut butter.
Oh, this sounds really good! I have an addiction to smoothies and always love new recipes. I keep sugar free powdered Nestle Quick in my cupboard for late night snack attacks so have all the ingredients except flack seed. Thank you for your sweet visit - I am a new follower to your lovely blog :) xo Karen
Ditch the sugar. Probably. Great for smoothie lovers.
the berry smoothie to me sounds soooo nice
Hmmmmm.......this sounds so good. I love peanut butter anything and will give this a try. Thanks for the recipe :)
sounds delichious. :)
I love smoothies, this one sounds very yummy. I have had mango and strawberries before but never peanut butter and I don't know why because I love peanut butter. Thanks for the recipe and thanks for visiting.
You know, I must be losing my marbles, I see this is my third comment on this post :( BUT, still love your smoothies ;)
Actually the fourth, so I think you'd better stand by the fifth in another month, lol!
Sounds almost like the peanut butter and jelly smoothie I made. I was making different smoothies for breakfast every morning for a little while, but I missed chewing.
I'd go with the mango, orange strawberry-three of my favorite fruits-sounds yummy!
Thankyou for visiting my blog. You asked what was different about the felting - it was dry felting and done with a special barbed needle. It's an easier process than normal wet felting but tricky to control when trying to create a specific shape.
Your smoothy recipe sounds delicious.
Now you've gone 'n' done it!!
You have me drooling. What could be wrong with this? Not a thing. All good treats and quite nutritious.
Yum.
