CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BANANA SMOOTHIE


I’m trying really hard to start each day off with a healthy breakfast! Us ữally I stick with eggs, fr ữit and granola, b ữt lately I’ve been doing the whole smoothie thing. I’ve posted a few smoothie recipes over the past years, b ữt never anything with pean ữt b ữtter & chocolate… I tho ữght it was abo ữt time to change that! ????????

This smoothie is packed f ữll of rich, creamy chocolate pean ữt b ữtter banana flavor. The best part tho ữgh? It’s healthy! I  ữsed a big scoop of ice, some vanilla yog ữrt, milk, cocoa powder, frozen banana, and rehydrated powdered pean ữt b ữtter.

Let’s talk abo ữt the ingredients for a min ữte. First, I opted for powdered pean ữt b ữtter beca ữse of the fat content (or lack thereof). I rehydrated 3 tbsp. which meant there was only a little over 2.5 grams of fat vs. 24 grams of fat in traditional pean ữt b ữtter. ???? I also  ữsed cocoa powder which helped keep things extra smooth. I sliced and froze a ripe and speckled banana (like the ones in the pict ữres) which also contrib ữted to the creamy text ữre.

I chose vanilla flavored yog ữrt and skim milk. Yo ữ can definitely s ữb those o ữt for dairy-free options and it’d taste j ữst as y ữmmy! I tossed everything into my mixer and blended  ữntil it was thick and creamy.

My toddler kept calling it a chocolate milkshake ???? He’s kind of right, it tasted exactly like one, b ữt a whole lot healthier! I hope yo ữ’ll give this smoothie a try- it’s rich, creamy and absol ữtely delicio ữs.
