Coconut and Banana Smoothie

I recently started using coconut milk in my smoothies because of its health benefits and I like the rich and silky texture it gives the smoothie. One of my favorites is this simple coconut milk and banana smoothie:

Just blend together 1 cup coconut milk and 1 banana. It's that simple!
If you use canned coconut milk than you may need to add some regular milk to thin it out a bit.

Chocolate Milk Smoothie

I love this smoothie because its basically chocolate milk sweetened with a banana. I also love it because it's healthy for my kids and they don't get all the sugar and other additives that they would get from the store bought chocolate milk.

1 cup milk
1 Tbs cocoa powder
1 banana
1 Tbs peanut butter
Blend it and enjoy!

I  like to use dark chocolate cocoa powder because it contains the highest concentration of flavonoids which are a form of antioxidants (actually I'm just a sucker for dark chocolate). Peanut butter is high in protein and the banana has potassium...what more could you ask for in a Delicious smoothie?
