The base is an adaptation of my chocolate creamy breakfast shake, and the brownie will look familiar to anyone who has seen my 5-minute Espresso Walnut brownies earlier in the week. The two are combined to create a rich, creamy drink.
Even just looking at the picture again makes me want to buy another. You can’t taste the strawberries at all. The base is rich in chocolate flavor. Even if you don’t like bananas, I recommend you try it.
No-bake brownie pieces melt into the shake and become all creamy and fudgy. Each bite is better than the previous one.
What’s the best part? This is healthy enough for breakfast. There’s plenty of sugar, but it comes from natural sources. It also contains no gluten, dairy, or unhealthy fats. I told you that it was perfect for breakfast.
Ingredients
- Chop two bananas ripes before freezing.
- 3 cups frozen strawberries

- Two brownies (5-minute espresso walnut brownie // crumbled)
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients, EXCEPT the brownies, in a blend until smooth.
