Description
A quick, satisfying smoothie made with ripe banana, cocoa, and peanut butter, perfect for breakfast on the go or post-workout recharge.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana (medium; about 100–120 g), frozen for thicker texture
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk, dairy or non-dairy (almond, oat, soy)
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
- 2 tablespoons (10–12 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional; adjust to taste)
- 3–4 ice cubes (optional, if using fresh banana)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the milk into the blender jar first.
- Add the banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and honey (if using).
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt if desired.
- If you want it frosty, add 3–4 ice cubes or use a frozen banana.
- Secure the lid and blend on medium-high for 30–60 seconds, or until completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust: add more milk to thin, another half tablespoon of peanut butter for nuttier flavor, or a touch more sweetener if needed.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Serve in a tall glass with toppings like cocoa powder or chopped peanuts. Store in the fridge up to 24 hours; re-blend before serving.
