2 T. peanut butter
2 T. chocolate chips
1 T. chia seeds

1 banana, frozen

1/2 c. vanilla yogurt
1 c. milk

* Jacoby's favorite protein powder is Bucked Up

** You could put the first 5  ingredients in a ziplock sandwich bag and store them in the cupboard until you are ready to use them.  You could add the banana to the bag if you have space in the freezer.  If the banana is frozen, you won't need to add ice.
