Just made this today…LOVED IT! I pretended it was a chocolate milkshake :-) And I also got 5 points from my ingredients (old points). Thanks for posting this!

I did count all ingredients, even the 0 point stuff. I’m pretty sure there is no “right” answer, at least Weight Watchers won’t give me one. You have to see what works for you. I know those that count the total NI and those that don’t.

Glad you liked it!!

Roni ~

This was so good this morning! However, when I put it in the WW online tracker it came to only 4 points plus. I wondered how you came to 7? Do you calculate all the nutrition information and then calculate points, which would include the zero point foods in the points? Just curious (and will most likely use my extra three points ~ because its day 2 and I’m huuuuungry!) :)

Love this, but I cannot have nuts in my house, they are a trigger for me. Today I made it again, but used a splash of Davinci SF white chocolate with the dark cocoa. Heaven.

I made this smoothie and had my daughter try it. She doesn’t like to eat healthy things, but she LOVED this!

I make almost the same thing too with the same ingredients minus the banana and add protein powder. Absolutely love it! I can’t so tach bananas since I was a young child.

If you’re a coffee drinker, try adding half a cup of coffee to the mix.

Charly – I was thinking the same thing. A scoop of protein powder would make it an awesome post workout recovery shake!

I should have added that I use the unsweetened chocolate almond milk. It has no added sugar but gives it a great chocolate taste. I bet with that and the addition of cocoa it would be divine.

I make this all the time but I use frozen bananas. Works out perfectly and it doesn’t get watered down by the ice. It is a perfect way to save those bananas that are too ripe.
