A Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie dream at your fingertips whenever you want it - because it's simple and you already have everything you need. Real ingredients, real fast, the real deal.
- 1 1/2 large frozen bananas, cut in chunks about 1 cup of chunks
- 1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened soy milk or lowfat 1% milk more as needed
-
Add ingredients to the blender in the order they appear in the list. The milk goes in last and should cover all the ingredients, so use as much as is needed. Otherwise, it may be too thick to blend. Process on high until the mixture is smooth and no chunks are present. Serve immediately.
*Frozen banana gives this smoothie its trademark creamy texture and sweetness. Slice ripe bananas in chunks, and freeze in a single layer on a tray until solid (about 30 minutes); then transfer to a re-sealable bag or covered container for easy freezer storage and access.
*Smoothies can be made with any milk of choice. I've made this with soy, cow's, and almond milk and all worked just great. You could also use rice milk, coconut milk, or any of the other alternative milks available. Your call!
*This smoothie recipe uses almost no added sugar, except for the small amount found in the vanilla yogurt. I've also made this with plain yogurt, and added just a touch of maple syrup for sweetener.
