This Chocolate Banana Smoothie is one of my go-to smoothies. It tastes great and it is packed with nutrition.

I love to add spinach because I am getting the health benefits without the smoothie tasting like a vegetable drink. The sweetness of the banana and chocolate protein powder overpower the spinach.

This is the Nutribullet that I have. It's takes up little space on the counter and is powerful enough to blend seeds.
