At the very least, my baby sure enjoys the combination!

Delicious, filling and easy to make! Win-win-win!
Glad you love it!
This hits the spot for me!! I didn’t add the honey, it’s sweet enough with the banana and pb! It’s velvety smooth and the cocoa curbs my chocolate craving! Thank you!!
Awesome! Soooo happy you enjoyed it!
How many calories it has?
It’s listed under the recipe 🙂
Can I use either Unsweetened almond milk or skim milk?
For sure!
Can I use chocolate whey protein powder?
Instead of the cocoa? It would be much sweeter if your protein powder is sweetened.
Cant eat bananas What can be substituted
Avocado could be substituted in for bananas.
I tried this morning and it didn’t come out good like I thought it would. I used fat free milk. Suggestion?
What kind of cocoa do you use? Hershey’s?
Any type of unsweetened cocoa powder!
Can I substitute regular milk for almond milk? Will regular low fat yoghurt work just as fine as greek yoghurt?
Both of those substitutions should taste fine but you will drastically lower the protein content!
