we're breaking the 80 degree mark here in dallas this week, but i'm not complaining. 

we drink a lot of protein shakes/smoothies in our household, and this one is perfect for a it's hot-outside-and-i'm-craving-something-sweet fix. pretty low calorie too - add some flaxseed or any extra fixins you'd like like for extra umphh.

banana-cocoa smoothie

1/2 banana (better if frozen)
3/4 cup almond, rice, or cow's milk
2-3 tsp cocoa powder
handful of ice

mix all together in blender or my personal fav, the magic bullet

i get a lot of action from the baby when i eat something he likes, and this definitely tops his list. i find it adorable - we're going to get along great.
