Chocolate "Milkshakes" Revisited

Works for Me Wednesday
Easy Summer Treat

This is a wonderful summertime treat that we have several times a week. That means that besides being yummy, it's easy, quick and inexpensive. You can find the original recipe posted on my recipe blog, but it's so good, and perfect for this time of year, that it's time to post it again as something that "works for us." Here's the variation we made on Father's Day that was pronounced "the best you've ever made!"
Lowfat Chocolate "Milkshake"

1 1/2 cups water

3-4 tablespoons sugar

1 heaping tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 cups dry milk powder

1-2 tablespoons non-fat dairy creamer

1 tsp vanilla

1 frozen banana

1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter

16-24 ice cubes

Combine all ingredients in blender (ice cubes last, a few at a time until desired thickness). Process until smooth. Serves 2.
