But the strong banana flavor could be a problem.
Naked® Protein Smoothie
I discovered this chocolate smoothie in the refrigerated juice section of the grocery store. Chocolate in the juice aisle?Intrigued, I investigated. Yes, it did contain chocolate and fruit. Hmmm... separately they're delicious, together, I'm not so sure. So I walked away. But I didn't get far. I tried to resist, really I did, but I couldn't. So I returned to the display and grabbed a bottle. It had an invitingly, rich, dark chocolate color. I took a sip. Mmmmm... chocolate. Then the banana flavor kicked in. Not my favorite flavor combo, but the chocolate was good, really good. So I tried it again. I really wanted to avail myself of all the good stuff listed in the nutrition facts.

Sadly, your buds are bombarded by banana overwhelming the delicious cocoa. Banish the banana! Naked® juice people, p-l-e-a-s-e make a version without it. Chocoholics would rejoice.
