Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

This chocolate peanut butter smoothie will quickly become your new go to. It will satisfy your craving for something sweet, while providing a whopping 7g of protein per serving.

This decadent smoothie is super flavourful and seriously mouth watering! It’s basically dessert in a glass, but without all the refined sugar.

Perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Also great for taking on the go on your busy weekday mornings.

How do you make a chocolate peanut butter smoothie?

This simple, yet deliciously satisfying smoothie uses only 6 simple ingredients, plus an optional two for garnishing if desired.

• a ripe fresh banana or frozen
• raw cocoa powder
• pitted dates
• plant milk of choice, I use almond, but cashew or soy will also work well
• natural peanut butter
• a pinch of salt (this helps bring out the natural sweetness of the dates)

And I highly recommend an extra drizzle of peanut butter drizzled over top and a sprinkle of dark chocolate chips. I mean it’s not totally necessary, but…yum!

Use frozen banana or a handful of ice cubes if you want to make the smoothie more dessert like and serve with a spoon.

If you want something quick to drink, stick with a fresh banana. Either way, this smoothie is THE BOMB!

Like seriously, this is not something I claim often. This smoothie is so ridiculously delicious, it’s pretty hard to believe it’s healthy!
