Summer is finally here! We enjoy smoothies all year, but they seem to be especially good on hot days. So to celebrate the beginning of summer I’m sharing one of our favorite smoothies,(the girls have been making these daily!) The best part is I don’t mind them having one everyday, they are a pretty healthy snack, especially if you have organic ingredients. 🙂
Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie - Sugar Free
This makes enough for one adult size smoothy or two kid size smoothies. The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
Author: Queen Of The Red Doublewide
Recipe type: Smoothy
Ingredients
- ¾ of a cup of milk (any kind of milk)
- 1 frozen banana
- 1½ tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 5 to 7 drops of liquid stevia - we use the chocolate flavored (If you don't use stevia any sweetener will work, honey, maple syrup, sucanat ect....)
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients in a blender and push the liquify button, blend until you have a nice smoothy consistency. It takes about 30 seconds in my blender.
This is a very versatile recipe; if you can’t have peanuts just leave out the peanut butter, it’s still yummy. If you need dairy free, you can use a different milk. I have used almond milk and rice milk and both worked great.
An easy, healthy, summer treat with chocolate and peanut butter….how could you go wrong? Yummmm!!
Happy Summer Everyone!
Man, that looks good! We just made peanut butter today, so I’ll have to try this. Never thought of adding nut butters, but it would thicken it up. Thank you!
Chocolate/peanut butter smoothies with banana is my all time favorite! You recipe is healthier than mine, though. 😉 Thanks for sharing at the HomeAcre Hop. Please come back and visit us this week: http://everythinghomewithcarol.com/the-self-sufficient-homeacre-hop-6/
oooh, yum! I love smoothies, especially those made with cocoa powder and almond milk! I’ve been mostly switching over to dairy-free milk since cow’s milk seems to make my stomach hurt. . .I don’t really have the same reaction to cheese or yogurt though, so I’m not sure what the problem is. I can’t wait to try this recipe!
Oh, I like almond milk too! We use rice milk also it seems to help with Jo’s tummy aches. Hope you like the smoothie as much as we do!
Love this recipe! I made it last summer a few times and forgot about it, we’re back drinking this one again. Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by Kayla, so glad you like it! Now that the weathers warming up my kids have been mentioning smoothies again too. 😉
