Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

This vegan and gluten-free chocolate peanut butter smoothie is very creamy, thick, rich, and absolutely tasty. It is made with only five ingredients!

I know that now is typically the time of year when many of us set our goals and visions for the year ahead as I said in my last post.

For many of us, this year involves making promises to eat better food and boost our health. Many people like to try out gluten-free diets or low carb diets. So why not to start boosting your breakfast with this delicious chocolate peanut butter smoothie that ticks all the boxes?

This vegan and gluten-free smoothie is very creamy, thick, rich, and absolutely tasty!! It is made with only five ingredients that probably you have in your pantry and fridge.

This smoothie is definitely so delicious because all the rich savory flavors from peanut butter, banana, cocoa powder, and coconut milk combine perfectly. Speaking of peanut butter, if you haven’t tried my Low-Carb Peanut Butter Cookies, you really should!

Of course, I cannot forget to talk about the frozen banana because it definitely adds this creamy texture. Since you add frozen bananas you don’t need to add ice.

I also used coconut milk because I would like to make a vegan smoothie. So, if you want to quit dairy, this coconut milk is a great substitute. Last, don’t forget to use a good quality peanut butter, because it is better for your health if it is 100% peanut butter, unsweetened, and no salt. Seriously, this smoothie is such a delicious way to start your day. Want to try a different healthy smoothie?

I hope you really give this recipe a try and enjoy it for breakfast, snack time, or even dessert because everything that has chocolate is considered a dessert too, right??!!

The Best Blender for Smoothie:

You need to have a very good blender to make a good smoothie. Otherwise your smoothie will be full of lumps. Not good!

For sure my favorite blender that I highly recommend are:

1. NutriBullet: This blender allows you to blend in the cup you’ll be drinking from. It’s so practical and makes clean up a breeze. Isn’t that perfect? I love it!
2. Vitamix: This is the most powerful blender ever. You can easily crush ice into a drinkable slush and cut through frozen fruits, nut and seeds well. I make smoothies, my low-carb blueberry muffins, my mashed cauliflower and lots of soups with it. It’s also make sauces, spreads and digs. I love it so much and really recommend it.
