Who needs a chocolate milkshake when you have something as delicious and wholesome as this chocolate peanut butter smoothie? It’s naturally sweetened with bananas; no added sugars here! It’s also dairy free and vegan.
I would say this smoothie is in my top 5 best smoothies so far. I’m definitely a chocolate and peanut butter gal!
Aside from the bananas, the mixture uses mostly nuts and seeds plus some cocoa powder for that rich chocolate flavor. I also have these delicious chocolate-flavored smoothies: double chocolate smoothie and chocolate banana smoothie.
🍫Ingredients
- almond milk – Make sure you use the unsweetened kind or this smoothie might turn out a little too sweet.
- vanilla extract – Optional but enhances the flavor.
- peanut butter – I’ve used both smooth and crunchy peanut butter; it doesn’t make a difference as it gets blended anyway–so use whatever kind you have on hand.
- hemp hearts – These are just shelled hemp seeds.
- cocoa powder – Unsweetened.
- bananas – Sliced and frozen.
- chopped peanuts (not pictured) – This is an optional topping.
*See ingredient amounts in recipe card.
🥣How to Make it
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender.
- Blend on high speed until smooth. If it’s too thick for your liking, you can add some more almond milk to thin it out.
- Transfer to a glass. Top with more hemp hearts, peanuts and cocoa powder, if desired. Serve!
❓Recipe FAQs
This chocolate peanut butter smoothie has about 530 calories in total.
This smoothie contains about 19 grams of protein in each serving.
Using frozen fruit is the best way to thicken a smoothie. You can also blend ice cubes into the smoothie but I prefer frozen fruit to avoid reducing flavor.
For best results I would serve the smoothie right away but you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before it becomes unappetizing.
