This recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shakes is sponsored by TruMoo Calcium Plus but all thoughts and opinions are my own.
A shake for breakfast? Absolutely, when it’s made of wholesome and good-for-you ingredients. My nieces are in middle and high school now. Getting them out the door in the morning is no easy task. If it were left to them, there’s a good chance they would head out for school without eating breakfast. A Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Shake made with TruMoo Calcium Plus chocolate milk is a sure way to make sure they start the day right.
TruMoo Calcium Plus contains 50% more calcium per serving than regular low-fat white milk, and like regular TruMoo, it also has no artificial growth hormones and no high fructose corn syrup.
The shake has three of the best flavors, banana, peanut butter and chocolate all together in one delicious morning treat. How could this not be good? This breakfast milk shake consists of just 4 ingredients and comes together quickly. I try to always have some frozen bananas in the freezer for shakes and smoothies, but if your aren’t frozen you can simply add a few ice cubes to the blender.
The importance getting enough calcium is something the girls and I have talked about quite a bit. I don’t want them to have to have to worry about having weak bones like me, when they get older.
Now that we have TruMoo Calcium Plus chocolate milk, it’s easy for them to get the extra calcium they need. Whether it’s in their morning shake or a glass of chocolate milk after school.
5 Things You Should Know About Calcium:
One in two women and up to one in four men over the age of 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis. Meeting daily calcium needs by consuming foods rich in calcium, like low-fat dairy, yogurt and fortified cereal, can help prevent osteoporosis.
Peak bone mass occurs between the ages of 18 and 25. The more bone you have at the time of peak bone mass, the less likely you are to break a bone or get osteoporosis later in life. This is why it is essential that children and teens meet their daily requirements for calcium and vitamin D, which help build strong, healthy bones. Adults also need calcium to maintain bone mass.
Calcium does a lot more than just build healthy bones. It is one of the most essential nutrients for our body, playing an important role in nerve function, blood clotting, and muscle contraction.
Our bodies cannot produce new calcium, so it is important to eat and drink foods rich in calcium. When we don’t get enough calcium for our body’s needs, it is taken from our bones.
TruMoo Calcium Plus chocolate milk has 50% more calcium per serving than regular low fat milk, which makes it a delicious and effective way to meet your family’s daily calcium needs.
I love that it is easy enough for the girls to make their own shakes. Making breakfast together gives us all a chance to chit chat for a few minutes in the morning. But on those mornings when we are running late, I whip them up and pour into to-go cups. These breakfast shakes are perfect to take with you on the way to school.
Seriously. I can’t think of a better and more delicious way to start the day.

They serve TruMoo at my daughter’s school for lunch, and all the kids love it! The peanut butter shake looks like something I would like to start my day with!
Now I can’t wait for breakfast! What a delicious combination. Good nutrients too.
