Makes 1 serving. 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cranberry juice
• 1 frozen banana
• 1 Tbs cocoa powder

Instructions:

Alternatively, use chocolate protein powder (that is unsweetened). Halve the cranberry juice and add 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk for a less sweet drink. Cranberry juice has antibacterial properties and chocolate is a known mood-booster, so drink up!
