Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Peanut Butter
- ¼ Cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 1 Banana frozen
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- ¼ Cup Gluten Free Oats
- 1 Cup Almond Milk or milk of choice
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Pour the almond milk into the blender first, then add the peanut butter, frozen banana, gluten-free oats, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and salt. Adding the liquid first helps everything blend smoothly.
- Blend on low, then increase to high until smooth and creamy (about 45-60 seconds). Pour into a glass and enjoy right away.
Notes
- Use Ripe Bananas: Spotted bananas are sweeter and creamier. Peel and freeze ahead so they're always ready.
- Adjust Thickness: Add more almond milk if it's too thick. If it's too thin, blend in more oats, frozen banana, or a few ice cubes.
- Don't Skip the Salt: A small pinch boosts the chocolate and peanut butter flavor and makes the smoothie taste richer.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste before serving. Add more maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
- Blender Type: High-powered blenders give the smoothest result. If using a standard blender, chop the ingredients smaller & blend longer.
