Print Recipe

A rich, creamy, and high-protein smoothie combining peanut butter, cocoa powder, protein powder, and milk for a quick and satisfying treat perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened natural cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate or vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk or preferred milk
  • 1 small ripe banana, sliced
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 4–5 ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the banana. Measure out the peanut butter, cocoa powder, protein powder, and Greek yogurt.
  2. Add the peanut butter and milk to your blender. Blend on medium speed until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Add the banana, cocoa powder, protein powder, Greek yogurt, and honey or maple syrup if using.
  4. Blend on high speed until the mixture is silky and no lumps remain.
  5. Add the ice cubes and chia or flaxseeds if using. Blend again just until the ice is crushed and evenly mixed.
  6. Check consistency and adjust by adding more milk if too thick or more banana/yogurt if too thin.
  7. Serve immediately in a glass or shaker bottle. Optionally, sprinkle with cocoa powder or chopped peanuts.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess. Blend peanut butter with milk first to avoid clumps. Adjust ice quantity to control thickness. For vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free yogurt. Avoid crunchy peanut butter for smooth texture.
