The Choco Monkey Crisis Resolved

Off to Price Chopper I went yesterday to grab my groceries with my little one & we were very excited to see the sign for the Price Chopper Kids Cooking Club along with a recipe card and information about how to register for the e-newsletter. Unfortunately the minute I looked at it I realized one key ingredient was left out of the recipe....yikes. The cards will be pulled and replaced, but in the meantime....here is the correct recipe.

Choco Monkey
By Jodie Fitz

1 Banana
1 Cup low fat/fat free Price Chopper milk
1 Container Price Chopper vanilla yogurt*
2 Cups ice
3 tsp. Price Chopper cocoa
1 tsp. Price Chopper pure vanilla
1 tsp. Price Chopper cinnamon
OPTIONAL: 2 T. Peanut butter

Peel and slice the banana; let little cooks use a plastic butter knife to be part of the process. Add all ingredients into a blender and mix. This is a great recipe for an after school snack or breakfast on the run with no added sugar.

Note to Parents: As a mother of three, I have found that naming some of the recipes have helped to encourage my kids to try different fruits and various foods introducing them to new tastes; “some recipes are thumbs up, some are thumbs down…but, you never know unless you try…”

*use a low fat and/or organic yogurt for a healthy choice.
