Chocolate Banana Oatmeal Smoothie

Does it get any better than chocolate for breakfast?  This smoothie is my favorite!


Ingredients: (makes 2 servings)
1 cup almond milk
1/2 cup (6 cubes) frozen vanilla yogurt
2 bananas
1/2 cup quick oats
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa

Optional additions:
1 tbsp peanut butter
1/2 cup frozen spinach

I like to make this smoothie with both the spinach and the peanut butter.  I was a little nervous about adding the spinach the first time, but truly, you can't even taste it and it makes you breakfast even more nutritious.

Approximate Cost for 2 servings: $1.50

Freezing the yogurt in ice cube trays gives this smoothie a great consistency and makes it nice and cold.  It is also a good way to save some yogurt if you see it in your fridge about to go out of date, or to stock up if you find a deal and want to buy a lot.
