Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie

Okay, imagine blending Reese's peanut butter cups and oatmeal cookies (without the raisins) in a blender, adding almond milk, and drinking that for breakfast. Okay, now imagine it without all the refined sugar, butter, etc. that would make it a terrible breakfast food and you have a healthy breakfast smoothie.
