Ingredients Needed

You only need 4 simple ingredients (which you probably already have on hand) to make the most delicious chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie recipe!

• Banana: Use a frozen ripe banana for natural sweetness and a creamy, cold texture.
• Cocoa Powder: For that rich chocolate flavor.
• Peanut Butter: Adds a delicious peanut butter flavor and smooth creaminess. Feel free to swap it with almond butter, or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
• Non-Dairy Milk: I use soy milk for extra protein and creaminess, but you can use any milk you like (oat, almond, cashew milk)

Megan’s Tips

• Use a frozen banana. I always freeze my ripe bananas so I have them ready for smoothies and smoothie bowls. It’s a great habit to start instead of tossing out overripe bananas!
• Sweeten to taste. I find this smoothie is the perfect balance of sweetness, but if you like it extra sweet, try adding 1 pitted medjool date or 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
• Swap the peanut butter. You can easily swap the peanut butter for almond butter, or use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
• Boost your smoothie. Add protein powder, ground flaxseed, maca powder, hemp seeds, or even spinach (you won’t taste it!).

Topping Your Chocolate Banana Smoothie

Elevate your smoothie with some of these toppings:

• hemp Seeds
