Butterfinger Smoothie
Description
The Butterfinger Smoothie combines oat milk and frozen banana with chopped zucchini and a scoop of chocolate protein powder to create a creamy, nutritious base. The addition of peanut butter lends a satisfying richness and smoothness, balancing the slight vegetal note from the zucchini. Sweetened naturally with a Medjool date, the blend achieves moderate sweetness without refined sugars. After blending most ingredients until smooth, goji berries are stirred in briefly to maintain some texture, providing a subtle tartness and chewy contrast throughout the drink. The presence of frozen banana and zucchini produces a thick, chilled consistency ideal for a refreshing start or post-workout snack.
Its combination of protein powder and peanut butter offers a filling option for those looking to supplement protein while enjoying a flavorful smoothie. The recipe also notes the option to omit the date to reduce the sugar level, allowing customization for dietary needs. The prepared smoothie can be poured directly into a glass and consumed immediately for best texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- ½ cup oat milk or any non-dairy milk of choice
- ½ medium banana frozen
- ¼ cup zucchini frozen, chopped
- 1 coop (25 grams) chocolate protein powder I used Nuzest
- 1 medium Medjool date pitted
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
- 4-5 ice cubes
- 2-3 Tablespoons Goji berries
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except goji berries into a high speed blender. Blend until smooth.
- Add goji berries and blend for a few seconds, until just combined, so there are still some bits and chunks of the berries.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
- Omitting the Medjool date reduces sugar content for a less sweet smoothie.
- Use frozen banana and zucchini to achieve a thick, cold texture without adding ice.
- Add goji berries last and blend briefly to retain some chunkiness and texture.
