Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie a decadent and creamy treat that tastes like a shake but is actually healthy. This classic combo could fool anyone.

I know you will love it just as much as we do!
Ingredient Notes:
- Frozen Bananas – I peel, break in half and freeze bananas in a freezer safe bag. I always have these on hand for smoothies.
- Dates – You could buy pitted or unpitted just make sure to take the pits out. You will want to use soft dates to help the blending process along.
- Peanut Butter – Heaping means rounded so basically a big tablespoon vs. leveling it off. I use a natural unsweetened and unsalted peanut butter.
- Cocoa Powder – Any brand will work just make sure it is unsweetened.
- Almond Milk – Really any plant milk will work. I generally use an unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
How To Make:
Into your blender add your dates, bananas, peanut butter, cocoa powder and almond milk.
Blend until smooth and creamy. If you do not have a high powdered blender you may need to add a bit more almond milk to get the desired consistency.
Serve in a fancy glass with a fun straw.
Enjoy!
Of course! Peanut Butter is my favorite flavor in this smoothie however if you do not have any on hand or have an allergy any other nut butter you prefer will work. Just make sure to use a creamy nut butter. Something like almond butter would be great.
You can store a smoothie in the refrigerator if needed for 1-2 days. However, the smoothie will not be as thick and creamy in texture.
Yes, you can freeze a smoothie for up to three months. Make sure to store in an airtight container. When you are ready to drink the smoothie allow it to defrost at room temperature mixing it every now and then until it is your desired consistency. I have done this before and it works fairly well. I would recommend freezing a smoothie vs. storing one in the fridge.
