Between my adventures in Seattle and now LA I have not been eating all that healthy, not that I am complaining because it’s been delicious. To add to the food fest, last night my nephew Luke went trick or treating for the first time and I managed to sneak a couple pieces for myself (while adoring the cutest tool box on the face of the earth).

And now today is college football-food day. I decided to mix up a slightly healthier peanut butter and chocolate recipe to balance out all the rest and feel slightly less guilty. I am also making up for the break in my gym work out schedule by lifting babies. Maybe some crunches with my newest nephew Griffin on my stomach or kicking my feet while big brother Luke sits on my feet. Quality time and a work out!

As the name implies, this dark chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie is made with dark chocolate peanut butter, banana, as well as Greek yogurt, milk, and rolled oats. You could easily add a scoop of your favorite plain, vanilla, or chocolate protein powder as well if you would like. Either way, you might be able to trick yourself into thinking that you are enjoying a chocolate peanut butter milkshake for breakfast.

To seal the deal, I served it in a milkshake glass rimmed with more dark chocolate peanut butter and pressed it into crushed peanuts for a sweet rim. You don’t need to do that step, but it really enhances the experience.
