This chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie recipe is one of my absolute favorites. It reminds me of a chocolate peanut butter milkshake! I have been making this chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie recipe for years, and it is a big hit with my kids also. This blog post contains affiliate links. The recipe starts off with 2 bananas. I recommend using frozen bananas because it will make your smoothie colder and thicker. Next comes the milk and yogurt.

The gift of being able to see the extraordinary in my everyday routine because the truth is … [Read more...]
My Goals for 2022

Instead, I feel guilty that I'm not doing enough to meet them. You could say that I don't have a great relationship with productivity, goals, and possibility of failure. Eeek. Did this just turn into a therapy session??? It is pretty rare that I am inspired to sit down and write out a list of goals, and when I do, it is usually a list of very specific and manageable tasks. I lean more towards a detailed to-do list rather than big picture, life changing goals. Time for … [Read more...]
