    Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie that Doubles as a Healthy Shake

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on July 23, 2022 Alisa's Favorite Dairy-Free Recipes, Beverages, Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Once in a blue moon, I crave a thin sippable smoothie. But most of the time, I prefer a thick, rich blend, like this dairy-free chocolate peanut butter smoothie. It’s nutritious, but can be enjoyed for breakfast or as a satisfying afternoon shake. It’s both post workout and dessert worthy!

    Dairy-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Recipe - naturally plant-based, vegan, and optionally allergy-friendly. Rich, thick, creamy, and delicious! Great for breakfast, post-workout, or as a healthier milkshake dessert.

    This Dairy-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Doubles as a Healthy Shake

    This recipe was originally in the first edition of my flagship book. I removed it in the 2nd Edition of Go Dairy Free: The Guide and Cookbook, to make room for some new smoothie recipes. But I want to ensure it isn’t lost, so I’m posting it here! And I have a few ingredient notes to help perfect your blend.

    • Milk Beverage: Back when I first whipped up this dairy-free chocolate peanut butter smoothie, chocolate milk beverage was all the rage. It fell from popularity as dairy-free protein took center stage, but there are still some mainstream brands like Almond Breeze, Califia Farms, So Delicious, Silk Protein, and Silk Soy. If you can’t find one, or just prefer to keep another flavor on hand, see the substitution notes in the recipe.
    • Peanut Butter: Of course you can substitute your favorite nut or seed butter. But I do use a creamy, natural (the type that separates), lightly salted peanut butter, like Santa Cruz Organic or Laura Scudder’s. I prefer a wee bit of salt as it does round out the peanut flavor in the smoothie.
    • Sweetener: If you do need to add any sweetener, I like a pinch of stevia or a drizzle of maple syrup in this recipe. But feel free to use your sweetener of choice. Most go well with this flavor blend.

    Special Diet Notes: Dairy-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, gluten-free, grain-free, nut-free, soy-free, vegan, plant-based, and vegetarian. Just be sure to choose the milk beverage that suits your dietary needs.

    For a peanut-free smoothie that’s equally delicious, substitute sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter. You can alternately use the Chocolate Almond Option if you are okay with tree nuts.

    This thick and rich shake is frequently requested in my household. Not only does it taste like a luscious dessert, but it also has a decent amount of potassium and protein for a pre- or post-activity boost.
    Author: Alisa Fleming
    Recipe type: Drinks
    Cuisine: American
    Serves: 1 serving
    Ingredients
    • 1 medium very ripe banana, sliced and frozen
    • ¾ cup dairy-free chocolate milk beverage (see Milk Beverage Note below)
    • 1 to 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, to taste
    • 2 to 3 teaspoons cocoa powder, to taste
    • ½ cup ice
    Instructions
    1. Blend the banana and milk beverage together in your blender until smooth.
    2. Add the peanut butter and cocoa powder, adjusting the two flavors to your taste, and give it another blend.
    3. Add the ice and process until thick and creamy.
    Notes
    Milk Beverage Note: I do use a sweetened chocolate milk beverage in this recipe. If you use an unsweetened version, add your favorite sweetener, to taste. If you don't have chocolate available, substitute (sweetened) vanilla milk beverage and increase the cocoa powder to 1 to 2 tablespoons, to taste.

    Chocolate Almond Option: For a more sophisticated shake, swap almond butter for the peanut butter, use chocolate almond milk, and optionally add ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon.

    Protein Smoothie Option: Use an unsweetened plain or vanilla milk beverage, and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of dairy-free chocolate protein powder. Start with just 1 teaspoon cocoa powder, and add more to taste.
