Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

• Prep time: 5 minutes

• Servings: 1 large glass

Ingredients

• 1 large ripe banana (frozen yields the creamiest, thickest texture)

• 1 tablespoon peanut butter (smooth works best)

• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 cup milk of your choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy all work well)

• Optional: 1/2 cup ice (if using a fresh banana instead of frozen)

• Optional: A splash of vanilla extract or a drizzle of maple syrup/honey if you prefer it sweeter.

Instructions

1. Combine: Add the banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and milk into your blender.

2. Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, add a little more milk; if you want it colder or thicker, add the ice and blend again.

3. Serve: Pour into a glass.

4. Garnish (Optional): As shown in your photo, you can top it with a tiny drizzle of peanut butter and a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate for that extra touch.
