• peanut butter banana smoothie

Ingredients Needed

• Frozen Bananas
• Creamy all natural peanut butter
• Greek Yogurt
• Milk
• Cocoa Powder
• Mini Chocolate Chips
• Honey
• Ice

How to make it

Step 1: Add the frozen banana chunks, peanut butter, greek yogurt, milk, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, honey, and ice to a high powered blender.

Step 2: Blend until smooth and pour into glasses. Serve immediately, and garnish with mini chocolate chips or whatever you want!

Recipe Tip

If you do not have a high speed blender, you can leave out the ice and then add to taste once the smoothie is blended. I like my smoothies super thick (like ice cream!), but you can also use less ice to make it less thick.

You could also add in chocolate flavored protein powder to add even more protein, if this is going to be a post workout smoothie for you.

Another way to mix things up is to try this as a chocolate smoothie bowl! Some delicious toppings would be granola, chia seeds, bananas, or your favorite nuts.

I always keep bananas in the freezer for smoothie recipes just like this one.

Freezing bananas

To freeze bananas, you want very ripe bananas that have spots on them. Simply peel the banana, break into chunks with your hands, and add to a ziplock bag in the freezer for quick smoothie making.

Not only do they add ice cream like thickness, but bananas are also a great way to add a little natural sweetener to a recipe! The more ripe the banana, the more natural sweetness it will have.

What kind of yogurt is best in a chocolate smoothie?

This recipe calls for unsweetened greek yogurt which is a great way to add protein and flavor without any added sugar.

Vanilla flavored greek yogurt would also be delicious. If you decide to use a yogurt with sweetener already in it, simply omit the honey from this recipe or it will be too sweet.

Notes

I use unsweetened peanut butter for this recipe and the only ingredients should be peanuts + salt. If your peanut butter has sweetener in it, you may want to omit the honey I prefer my smoothies to be super thick consistency, so I added ice to make it extra thick. For a thinner drink, you can leave out the ice. To make this dairy free, use a dairy free yogurt in place of the greek yogurt and make sure to use dairy free chocolate chips
