My special homemade protein smoothie

Ingredients:
2 tbs peanut butter- protein 8g
1 cup 1%milk- protein 8g
1/3 cup powdered non-fat milk- protein 8g
1 tbs nestle quick powdered chocolate- less than 1g
1 tsp fiber
1/2 medium banana
3/4 cup ice

This is a yummy smoothie filled with 24g of protein, I just finished one it was delicious.  Below is a more detailed view of the fats, proteins, and carbs in this drink.  Most of the fat comes from the peanut butter but I'm pretty sure its filled with the fat burning fats that most nuts are filled with.

The first column is the calories from each food item, the 2nd is the protein and the 3rd the fats.  As for the powder fat free milk, the actual box says 8g of protein for 1/3 cup.  I used dr. OZ's  Sharecare.com website to input all my foods and in turn get this information.
