Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Protein Smoothie

Smoothies are a favorite treat around our house. My children love the taste, and I love being able to hide healthy super-foods in a drink without them knowing it! 🙂

One of our favorite smoothies combines chocolate, peanut butter and banana into delicious creaminess.  You can’t go wrong with that combo, can you?

I was recently contacted by Pure Encapsulations asking if I would be interested in creating a smoothie recipe using their PureLean protein powder.  I was thrilled to take them up on their offer!  The PureLean protein powder not only makes our smoothie taste that much more amazing, but is packed with just the kind of nutrition that I strive to feed my family.

If you don’t know it by now, I am a committed ingredient reader.  Most of the time I am disappointed in the ingredients I read on food packages – even many “natural” products.  Not so with this protein powder.  There wasn’t a single ingredient that brought disappointment.  PureLean is packed full of vitamins and minerals, a superfruit antioxidant blend {aceraols, camu camu, quercetin, acai, mangosteen, green coffee concentrate}, a long list of amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, plus 15 grams of vegetarian protein.  It’s also free of artificial additives, GMOs and allergens.

Let’s just say that I did not expect to be so pleased with all the healthful ingredients, nor for the protein powder to taste so delicious!
