Chocolate Covered Banana Protein Drink

It's not really a banana.

I use 4 oz skim milk (water is fine too to avoid the calories of milk)

two scoops chocolate whey protein,

one teaspoon sugar free banana pudding mix.

40 g protein, creamy and yummy without all the carbs from a real banana (but a 1" piece of banana will not hurt you :)
