1 small ripe banana, sliced and frozen
2 tsp. fat-free non-dairy powdered creamer (like Coffee-mate Fat Free Original)
1 tsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 no-calorie sweetener packet (like Splenda or Truvia)
1 cup crushed ice or 5 to 8 ice cubes

D irections:
In a tall glass, combine cocoa mix, powdered creamer, chocolate chips, and sweetener. Add 1/4 cup very hot water and stir until ingredients have dissolved. Add 1/2 cup cold water and stir.

    I have this book (I won't rave about it though). This is a great smoothie in regards to calories BUT like Kimberly did you have to add something extra....it has an after taste (similar to aspertame) if you can deal with that taste then yeah it's yummy :wink:
