Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Smoothie
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas peeled, cut into large chunks and frozen (click here for how to freeze fruit)
- ½ cup almond milk or milk of choice*
- 3 Tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter (or raw almond butter for a more neutral flavor)
- ¼ cup old fashioned rolled oats use oats labeled “gluten-free” for a gluten-free smoothie
- 2 Tablespoons raw cacao powder or unsweetened cocoa powder or chocolate syrup
- Sweetener: add your preferred sweetener to taste such as honey, dates or coconut palm sugar. With unsweetened almond milk and natural cacao powder, 3 pitted dates seems to be perfect for us.
- 1/2 cup - 1 cup ice depending on how icy you want it
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender with the ice on top. Blend until very smooth. Smoothie may be refrigerated overnight or frozen.
Notes
*If you use sweetened almond milk, you may not need additional sweetener.
If it's not too obvious, omit the chocolate for a Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie. Omit the peanut butter or substitute raw almond butter for a Chocolate Banana Smoothie. Omit the banana for a Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie.
