Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Shake
Description
The Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Breakfast Shake starts with ripe bananas that are peeled, sliced, and frozen to create a chilled and thick base for the smoothie. The addition of creamy peanut butter lends a smooth richness and gentle savoriness, balancing the sweet bananas and cocoa powder's cocoa earthiness. Almond milk thins the shake to a drinkable consistency, and vanilla extract adds a subtle aromatic note.
The ingredients are combined and blended until well pureed, resulting in a thick, creamy shake with chocolate-peanut butter flavors and the natural sweetness of ripe bananas. Using overripe bananas avoids the need for added sweeteners, making the shake naturally sweetened.
This breakfast shake suits those wanting a quick and potent morning drink providing energy and flavor from fruit, nuts, and cocoa without complicated preparation. It can be served immediately after blending to enjoy the cold, smooth texture.
Ingredients
- 2 banana peeled, sliced and frozen, large, overripe
- 1 cup almond milk or more to thin as desired, original
- 3/4 cup ice
- 1/4 cup peanut butter creamy
- 2 Tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

- *The overripe bananas will add the sweetness for the smoothie so use some that have a generous amount of speckles, don't use black bananas though those are just gross.
