faux chocolate malt recipe

I went to the Bell Center today to run on a treadmill.
I set out to run 45 minutes or 5 miles — whichever came first. Welll … I ended up running for an hour. Which was somewhere between 7 and 8 miles (I need to recalibrate my nike+!).
I spent a good 20 minutes stretching out and LO! I can touch my left toe!!! I haven’t done that in years. Especially since I’ve been injured.
My favorite post-workout snack is a faux chocolate malt.
And I think I’ve finally perfected my recipe.
Faux Chocolate Malt
Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- 3-4 ice cubes
- 3/4 c milk (I use soy milk)
- 2-3 T Rich Chocolate Ovaltine (or malt flavored OR if you’re feeling naughty, Nutella)
Directions
- Put ice cubes and banana into blender and add milk.
- Pulse blender to crush ice and banana.
- Blend until smooth.
- Add chocolate and blend until combined.
- Serve immediately.
Optional
If you’re needing some extra protein, add a tablespoon of almond or peanut butter (I like almond better) or use a chocolate-flavored protein powder in place of the ovaltine.
