power banana/chocolate breakfast oatmeal smoothie
(1 rating)
For those that use protein powder or would like to use but afraid it will taste awful, try this smoothie. Tastes like a chocolate covered banana. The ricotta makes it smooth and creamy. Just LOVE this. It is not a thick smoothie, if you would like it thicker, use more ice in the blender. I also used a tablespoon of Benefiber in mine, but this is not necessary.
