So...no news on the ankle. It still hurts. This week I am going to see a doctor to see if it needs to be amputated or replaced. Okay, I am being dramatic. But I finally came to the realization that I am NOT a doctor, nor do I play one on TV. I need a professional opinion. Why is it so hard to ask for help sometimes?
Anyway, I am going to share with you today my favorite breakfast. It's a great way to refuel after a run or fuel yourself for the day. Here it is: Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie!
It's not new or novel or earth shattering but it's delicious and creamy and yummy and keeps me full all morning long. I love that.
Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie
1 cup fat free soymilk
3 oz vanilla greek yogurt (about 1/2 of a small yogurt container, you can add the whole container if you like it super creamy)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 heaping tablespoon natural peanut butter
1 frozen banana
Blend it all up. Add 1-2 cups of ice, blend again. Easy!!!! You can also add a scoop of protein powder for even more staying power. I love how it fills me up and keeps me full until lunchtime. No more 10am snacking at work.
I hope you all have a fabulous week. It was 80 degrees here this weekend (yes, my grass is that green right now. I love it) but it's supposed to rain rain rain this week. Stay tuned for a super fun giveaway I am going to be posting on my blog this week!! You don't want to miss it. Thanks for stopping by today!

Good for you for going to the dr. I figure it better to go in early and catch something before you do more damage!
A shake sounds so so good!
Oh Mara you put a smile on my face..lol Amputated or replaced.. big Sigh... I soooo know how you feel and how frustrating when you just want it to be fixed so you can go RUNNING!!! I vote go to the Dr..once you have gone you will be happy you did... NO MORE pictures of green grass until may..It is just not fair LMBO.. BTW the smoothie looks delish!!!
Thank you for this great breakfast idea! I love pb/chocolate/banana combinations. This morning I had oatmeal with peanut butter, sliced banana, and chocolate! I've never made a smoothie before, but this one seems easy and right up my alley.
Thanks again and Happy Valentine's Day!
Mara... FLIPPIN GOOD!!! We just made the smoothies and they are SO good! They taste like a reces peanut butter cup in a glass!!!!

Mara that PB banana shake looks BOMB. That is like my favorite flavor combo, and I'm going to have to try it out!! I hope your VDAY was awesome. Thanks so so much for your sweet heartfelt comment on my last post. It helps me so much to know I'm not alone out there feeling discouraged sometimes. I HATE when it happens, but at least we know those lows make our highs feel that much better right! Thanks again doll, I appreciate you!! xoxoxo megs
