I choose Ovalteen® over any other drink mixes because it's chocked full of vitamins and minerals plus it's caffeine free. (Don't want monkies climbing the walls!)
Say what?!? You read it right, CHOCOLATE MONKEY. It's a healthy alternative that I came up with for my daycare kids. I use to make Kool-Aid® slushies and was thinking, "There's got to be a healthier solution than sugar flavored water." So, I started experimenting and came up with my ever famous Chocolate Monkey. Every time my grandkids come over they beg for me to fix one.
Chocolate Monkey
Ice Cubes
Milk
1 Banana
Chocolate Ovalteen®
I choose Ovalteen® over any other drink mixes because it's chocked full of vitamins and minerals plus it's caffeine free. (Don't want monkies climbing the walls!)
1. Place ice cubes, milk, banana and Ovalteen® in a blender.
2. Using the "crush ice" function, blend until smooth and frothy.
I serve mine with spoon straws that are available at your local Wal~Mart, Dollar Stores, or grocers.
Your kids will go "ape" over them!
Have you had your chocolate monkey for the day?
