Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie
This Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie blends frozen bananas, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter, and almond milk into a creamy, chilled drink with a smooth texture and balanced chocolate-peanut flavor. Cocoa powder adds depth, while optional peanut butter cup pieces provide added texture. It's a filling smoothie suitable for a snack or light meal.
Ingredients
- 2 coops chocolate protein powder I used Nuzest, 50 grams
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter plus more for topping
- 2 banana frozen, in chunks
- 1 cup almond milk or oat milk, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
- ice if needed, handful
- 1 peanut butter cup optional, Lily's brand, chopped
Instructions
- Blend: Add frozen banana chunks, protein powder, peanut butter, cocoa powder and milk into a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. You can also add 1/2 of the peanut butter cup if you want pieces blended in.
- Taste: Taste the smoothie and see if you feel like it need anything... a handful of ice to make it colder/thicker or more milk, if it's too thick. Add these things (if needed) and blend again.
- Enjoy: Once the smoothie is perfect, pour into a glass and enjoy! Top with toppings like a drizzle of peanut butter and chopped peanut butter cup pieces, if desired.
Notes
- Reduce the banana quantity or replace it with frozen zucchini, cauliflower rice, or avocado for lower sugar content.
- Use natural sweeteners like monkfruit or stevia to taste when reducing banana sweetness.
- Substitute regular peanut butter with peanut butter powder (PB2) to cut calories and fat.
- Cocoa powder is optional if your chocolate protein powder has strong chocolate flavor.
