No-Ice-Cream-Needed Chocolate Milkshake
This easy chocolate milkshake gets a double dose of chocolate flavor from Organic Valley® Lowfat Chocolate Milk and cocoa powder. A frozen banana thickens the shake and adds natural sweetness without the need for additional sugar. (Note: You’ll need to freeze a banana before beginning—a great use for those spotty bananas!).
