Peanut Butter Banana Split Shakeology

I LOVE THIS! If you ever dream of going back to the days when it was perfectly acceptable to devour a banana split (or two) with your best friends, then do we have a treat for you. This Shakeology recipe is the healthy grown-up version of the dessert, and it gets its sweetness naturally from banana, pineapple, and strawberry (instead of ice cream). Adding peanut butter makes it more filling and brings the protein content up to 22 grams!
