Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana (Print Version)

Smooth blend of chocolate, peanut butter, and banana for a creamy, rich breakfast or snack.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 large ripe banana, peeled and sliced

02 - 1 cup whole milk or plant-based milk (240 ml)

03 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

04 - 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

05 - 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, to taste

06 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

07 - 1 cup ice cubes (120 g)

01 - Place banana slices, milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes into a blender.

02 - Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, approximately 30 to 60 seconds.

03 - Taste and add additional honey or maple syrup if a sweeter flavor is desired.

04 - Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses and enjoy immediately.

01 -

It tastes like dessert for breakfast, which somehow makes getting out of bed easier.
The whole thing comes together in less time than it takes to make toast, no excuses required.
It's naturally thick and creamy without any of the pretentious ingredient lists—just real food you actually have at home.

02 -

Frozen banana slices are a game-changer if you like thick smoothies; they're also secretly the best use for bananas that are turning brown because you forgot about them.
The ratio of peanut butter to milk is crucial—too much peanut butter and it becomes a paste, too little and you lose the whole identity of what makes this special.

03 -

Always start your blender on low speed for three seconds to break everything down gently before cranking to high; it's faster and gentler than forcing it all at once.
Leftover smoothie tastes fine even cold from the fridge the next morning, but it's genuinely not as good as fresh, so maybe that's a sign to make it twice.
