Ingredients:
- Milk: Use your favorite milk; either dairy or non-dairy work just fine here.
- Protein Powder: Your favorite brand of chocolate protein powder adds rich chocolatey flavor. If you only have plain or vanilla protein powder, 1 to 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder can also be used.
- Peanut Butter: I like natural creamy peanut butter here, but any brand works. You could also use powdered peanut butter. You could also use another nut butter, like cashew butter.
- Banana: For the sweetest smoothie, use ripe bananas. (Or even slightly overripe.) I freeze them when they get to this point so that I can just pull them from the freezer when I need them.
- Optional Sweetener: Depending on how ripe your banana is and how sweet you want your smoothie, you may want to add additional sweetener. Honey, maple syrup, stevia drops, and monk fruit are all great options.
Optional Add-Ins
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed or chia seeds
- 1 ¼ cups spinach
- 1 teaspoon Maca powder
- 1 teaspoon cocoa nibs
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup oats
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
Tips for Making Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie
- For a smoother texture, chill the ingredients before blending.
- Chop the banana into small pieces that are roughly the same size.
- If adding ice, blend everything first and then add it last.
