Hi guys!!!
I am a chocolate lover and can live with just having chocolate to eat :-) But when I go nuts about counting calories I completely cut chocolate out of my diet. Recently, I stumbled upon a few web articles that stated chocolate milk is a great post-workout meal. You will have no idea as to how excited I was when I read it. Since then, I have started having chocolate milk or any equivalent of that after my workout.
The choco banana milkshake is one form of the chocolate milk that I prepare. I occasionally take this as my breakfast too. Very simple yet tummy-satisfying drink. Now, lets see the recipe.
Ingredients:
Ripe banana - 1
Milk (Semi-skimmed/Full fat) - 1 cup
Instant chocolate mix / Unsweetened cocoa powder - 2 heaped tsp
Sugar (if using unsweetened cocoa powder) - 2 tsp
Procedure:
1. Blend the banana, milk, chocolate or cocoa powder and sugar (if using) in a blender till it turns frothy.
2. Transfer to a glass and enjoy.
Note: You can add icecubes when blending if you prefer the drink chilled.

I make this all the time :) If making this as a post workout smoothie, I always add in a scoop of peanut butter for more protein. You could try it as well if you like the taste of PB.
