This is a bit of a switch today. I’m not giving you a main dish but it could still be a meal or at least a good snack. I *heart* Starbucks’ Vivano Chocolate Banana protein beverages. They are delish, especially with a shot of espresso. But who has the cash to get one of those suckers on a daily basis? I had one today for lunch (with some veggies). We were blessed by the King’s Royal parents with a Magic Bullet blender a few years back and we have used it and used it and used it again and again. I’m sure this recipe will work in the blender, too.
1 1/2 cup of ice
2/3 cup of coffee (I used what was left over from breakfast)
1/3 cup of milk
2 tsp of Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder
1 banana cut into pieces
1/3 cup of whey protein
2 T of quick oats
1 T of ground flaxseed
Blend it together and drink up! YUMO.

I totally heart these too. You are the first one I’ve found who wouldn’t look at me like I was crazy when I said “vivano.” mmmmm.
