Banana chocolate smoothie

It is a great healthy breakfast or snack throughout the week. Bananas are packed with potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C. This smoothie is best made with frozen bananas, but you can use unfrozen ripe bananas in a pinch. Frozen bananas help to chill the smoothie and make it extra thick and creamy, similar to a milkshake.
