Description

Perfectly smooth and creamy, it tastes like a decadent dessert while being healthy and satisfying. Customize with your favorite toppings for added texture and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup milk (dairy-free alternatives can be used)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 large frozen bananas (ripe bananas preferred for sweetness)
- As desired (e.g., sliced fruits, nuts, seeds, granola)
Instructions
- Gather 1/3 cup of milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter, and 2 large frozen ripe bananas. Using frozen bananas is key for a thick, creamy texture and natural sweetness.
- Place the milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter, and frozen bananas into a high-speed blender. Process on high until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick and difficult to blend, stop the blender and use a spoon to push the ingredients down the sides, then add 1-2 tablespoons of additional milk to help blend evenly. Blend again until smooth.
- Pour the smoothie into bowls. Add your favorite toppings if desired, such as nuts, seeds, sliced fruits, or granola. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture, or freeze right away for a thicker, colder treat.
