Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie – A delicious and creamy smoothie that will satisfy your chocolate craving without any guilt. A healthy breakfast, dessert or snack.

A smoothie that tastes like a milkshake? Yes, please. This is the perfect smoothie for those times that you need to satisfy a chocolate craving, or throw together a breakfast on the go, or hit the reset button because you ate two-thirds of a Cinnamon Roll Cake (ahem).

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

The name says it all – chocolate, peanut butter and banana are the main flavor components in this smoothie. Here’s how to whip it up!

  • Milk (your choice): My favorite is unsweetened vanilla almond milk, because it is low in calories and sugar. Feel free to use cow’s  milk or any non-dairy milk of your choice.
  • Chocolate: Unsweetened cocoa powder adds a rich chocolaty flavor and color to this smoothie. If you want it extra chocolatey, you can throw in a handful of dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs during the last few seconds of blending.
  • Peanut Butter: Natural salted peanut butter is my favorite. Use whatever peanut butter you have, or swap for another nut/seed butter.
  • Frozen Bananas: Frozen bananas not only add the banana flavor, but they add a touch of sweetness and they help to make the smoothie a nice thick consistency.
  • Honey/Maple Syrup/Agave: Depending on the sugar content of your milk product, you might need to sweeten the smoothie just a touch. A drizzle of honey, maple syrup or agave blends in perfectly. Adjust to suit your taste.
  • Protein: I like to add a scoop of collagen peptides or protein powder to make this smoothie extra filling and satisfying. I prefer unflavored or chocolate flavored for this smoothie.

Ingredients for a chocolate peanut butter smoothie

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie with Protein

This smoothie gets its protein from protein powder or collagen peptides, peanut butter, as well as any protein in the milk you use. Cow’s milk will add 8-10 grams of protein per cup. There are also non-dairy milks that are enriched with added protein. Feel free to swap any of those for an additional boost of protein.

Note: The nutrition facts listed below include 1 scoop of protein powder; you can easily increase the protein by adding another scoop.

Cocoa powder, milk, banana, peanut butter in a blender.

Healthy Chocolate Banana Smoothie

I refer to this smoothie as healthy since it is made of whole, nutrient-rich ingredients. It’s fairly low in sugar (as far as smoothies go), with all of the sugars coming from natural sources. The following ingredients can be added to bump up the nutritional value further:

Spinach: A few handfuls of fresh baby spinach will be undetectable tastewise. The spinach will alter the color of the smoothie to a murky greenish-brown, but as long as you’re not put off by the color, throw it in!

Hemp Seeds: This an ingredient I often add to smoothies. It adds omega 3’s, omega 6’s and protein.

Chia Seeds: These little seeds are loaded with fiber and they will thicken the smoothie. They are almost completely undetectable if blended in near the end.

    Awesome! It is like drinking ice cream!
    Had very ripe bananas so skipped the honey/agave. Also added more ice than handful bc bananas were not frozen. Used 1 % milk, still tasted very rich.

    This recipe is amazing- tastes delicious and is pretty healthy and guilt free! Sometimes I add ground up Gluten Free oats for a little extra fiber.

    This is what I came looking for and it was so good! I’m recovering from covid and have no taste or smell still, so I am kind of relying on smoothies to get my strength back. Thank you! ❤

    I made this to help clean out my Vitamix container after making cashew butter (which is what I used instead of peanut butter). Used regular unsweetened almond milk. Did not need to add any sweetener. This was REALLY tasty!!!
