Today I am sharing my chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie that is thick, chocolaty, healthy and sweet enough to stop your sweet cravings.

You need simple ingredients;  milk, banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, honey.

Each ingredient has many benefits,

• Milk– You can use your milk of choice according to your diet.  I use cow milk. It is rich in protein, omega-3 fats, vitamin B, vitamin D and antioxidants. You can read more about the health benefits of cow milk in detail by clicking the link.
• Banana: Rich in Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, potassium, antioxidants. You can read more about the nutrition of the bananas by clicking the link.
• Peanut Butter: Rich in antioxidants, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, Vitamin E. You should eat peanut butter no more than 2 tablespoons to get its benefits. You may want to read more about the healthy serving size of peanut butter by clicking the link.
• Cocoa Powder: Rich in antioxidants, lowers high blood pressure, improves brain health.  You can read more about the nutrition benefits of cocoa powder by clicking the link.
• Honey-Rich in antioxidants, boosts the immune system.

This recipe makes 1 large or 2 regular servings.

Normally I don’t like eating ripe bananas but when it comes to smoothies, I use ripe bananas.

Tip:

When your bananas are ripe, slice them and keep in the freezer. You can use them in your smoothie.  These bananas will not only make your smoothies thick but also they will naturally sweeten your smoothies.  Ripe bananas are great for banana bread too.

How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

I place the milk, frozen banana slices, cocoa powder, my homemade peanut butter, honey into the blender and blend until they all combined for almost 1-2 minutes.  Then I add the ice cubes and blend until they are crushed. I prefer to add the ice cubes at this stage to keep my smoothie cold.

You can decorate your smoothie with a slice of banana and grated chocolate.  Enjoy!

Notes

*2 tablespoons is very chocolaty, you can start with 1,5 tablespoons and taste before you add the ice cubes. If you prefer you can add other ½ tablespoon. 

**As I use a ripe banana, 1 teaspoon of honey is enough.   Taste your smoothie before adding the ice cubes.  If you want to sweeten more, you can add more honey.
