Peanut Butter Smoothie without Banana

Fruit smoothies are among my family’s most requested recipes, but nothing compares when it comes to this chocolate peanut butter smoothie. A scoop of peanut butter and Greek yogurt provides added protein and flavor my kids love to sip through a straw, with none of the overpowering banana flavor.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Ingredients

Only five ingredients, including ice, are needed to make this chocolate peanut butter smoothie with no banana taste like dessert. Let’s run down the list of ingredients you’ll need: 

• Chocolate milk: dairy or non-dairy chocolate milk.
• Plain Greek yogurt: makes the smoothie creamy and high in protein.
• Creamy peanut butter: you can also use another nut butter or your favorite nut-free alternative.
• Maple syrup: or honey to add sweetness!
• Ice: it’s gotta be super refreshing!

Have frozen bananas on hand you’d like to use up? This Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake is just as heavenly with a frosty-like texture.

How to Make a Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie without Banana

Making delicious smoothies is a one-step process, and the blender does all the work. It goes a little like this: 

1. Blend
   Adding all the ingredients to a blender in the order listed will ensure any the smoothie blends even and smooth. 
2. Sip up! 
   Transfer the smoothie to a glass or to-go cup and sip away!

The best part is that I can put all of the ingredients in my budget blender the night before and store it in the fridge or make smoothie freezer packs, so in the morning, all I have to do is blend, and it’s ready to go! Watch the magic happen here:
