Peanut butter and chocolate are, hands down, my favorite food combination ever. Even more than butter and bread or olive oil and vinegar. They just win. So when my grandma gifted us with this truly magical Magic Bullet blender a few years ago, I knew what had to happen. And thus, this smoothie was created. Add in the bananas and it's practically healthy for you! Think of it as a milkshake for people without ice cream. It's not quite to the milkshake level, but it's definitely delicious.
chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie
Ingredients:
1 packet of Carnation Breakfast Essentials Chocolate Milk (I haven't tried it but I assume that any other chocolate powder would work the same)
1/2 of a frozen banana, chopped
peanut butter
ice cubes
milk
Instructions:
I use a Magic Bullet blender and it works perfectly for this. Pour a packet of the chocolate powder and the frozen bananas in a blender. Add two spoonfuls of peanut butter, three ice cubes, and fill about halfway with milk (about 3/4 cup). Blend it until smooth, then enjoy!
Note: This is one of those recipes that you have to fiddle with for a while, because a lot of it depends on personal taste. For instance, if you're like my sister and don't care for bananas, leave them out. If you don't want as much peanut butter, put less in. If you want a stronger flavor overall, add less milk, and vice versa.
Yes, definitely a match made in heaven.

this sounds so good! my mom looked at me like I was crazy when I concocted a peanut butter frappucinno, but it was delicious! Aren't magic bullet's the best?
ReplyDeleteBlast from the past...I used to have these every Thursday (the day we had to get up early & volunteer) and after months of drinking them I swore I would never sip a chunk of banana through a straw again. Now I'm craving one.
ReplyDeletei'm not really a peanut butter person, but this looks really good! :))

My mom makes this on very special occasions, and it's my favorite smoothie, hands down. She uses chocolate soy milk and crunchy peanut butter and it's heavenly! I love it.
