Scale
Base Smoothie Ingredients
- 2 large frozen bananas, peeled before freezing
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder or cacao powder
- 1–2 medjool dates or 1–2 tbsp maple syrup, optional
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, optional
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (almond, oat, coconut, etc.)
Toppings
- Banana slices (fresh)
- Peanut butter (additional drizzle or dollop)
- Chopped peanuts
- Chocolate chips
- Granola
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the frozen bananas, peanut butter, cocoa powder, optional dates or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and non-dairy milk into a high-powered blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until it reaches a thick, smooth, and creamy consistency. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides or add a little more non-dairy milk if the mixture is too thick to blend.
- Serve and Add Toppings: Transfer the smoothie to a bowl. Add your choice of fresh banana slices, additional peanut butter, chopped peanuts, chocolate chips, and granola on top for texture and extra flavor. Enjoy immediately with a spoon.
Notes
- Use ripe frozen bananas for natural sweetness and a creamy texture.
- Medjool dates add natural sweetness but can be substituted with maple syrup or omitted for less sugar.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more non-dairy milk to facilitate blending.
- For a colder or thicker bowl, freeze the blended mixture for 10-15 minutes before adding toppings.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and can be gluten-free if you use gluten-free granola.
