Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana (Printable View)

Creamy, rich blend of chocolate, peanut butter, and banana for a quick and nourishing treat.

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 1 large ripe banana, peeled and sliced

02 - 1 cup whole milk or plant-based milk (240 ml)

03 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

04 - 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

05 - 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, to taste

06 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

07 - 1 cup ice cubes (120 g)

01 - Place banana, milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes into a blender.

02 - Blend on high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

03 - Taste the smoothie and add more honey or maple syrup if a sweeter flavor is desired.

04 - Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses and serve immediately.

01 -

It tastes like dessert but slides down in five minutes flat, so no guilt required.
The combo of peanut butter and chocolate never gets old, and you'll actually feel full afterward.
No cooking, no mess beyond rinsing the blender, and it works whether you're vegan, dairy-free, or neither.

02 -

If your peanut butter is the natural kind with oil on top, stir it first or the blend will be uneven and you'll get peanut butter chunks.
A frozen banana instead of fresh makes the whole thing thick like soft-serve, which sounds fancy but also means you need less ice and it's actually easier to customize.

03 -

Blend on high for the full 30 to 60 seconds—half-blending leaves peanut butter chunks that never quite mix in.
If your blender struggles with ice, add the milk first, then layer the softer ingredients, then ice on top for better processing.
