Palani Drive - Best List - #37 Funky Monkey Smoothie

Few things are as fun to say as "funky monkey." The moniker is as goofy as the beverage it names is satisfying. For fans of the chocolate-peanut butter combination, the smoothie drink is the ultimate. Palani Drive offers an extensive line of smoothies, wraps and salads that unite flavor with a healthy approach to eating. The funky monkey, with its touch of chocolate and dollop of peanut butter, is among the more extravagant options on the menu at the California-style eatery.

For a taste of a funky monkey, simply combine the following in a blender:

1 banana, cut into four pieces

1 cup ice

4 ounces chocolate syrup

2 tablespoons peanut butter

8 ounces skim milk
