Indulge in this chocolate and peanut butter treat!
Chocolate, bananas, and peanut butter are a delicious combination. And when prepared properly, they are also really good for you! Blending them with some almond milk or coconut milk makes for a yummy drink, for breakfast or for a post-workout pick-me-up.
Freezing bananas before adding them makes for a creamy smoothie. If you make a lot of smoothies, get into the habit of chopping up fruit and freezing it, so that you’ll always have it on hand for your smoothies.
Raw cacao is packed with antioxidants, and peanut butter adds a punch of protein. Bananas contain potassium, which aids in hydration and keeps you energized.
This recipe is for two people. If making for one, use half of the ingredients.

This was a perfect morning pick me up. Sadly I didn't have any coconut oil. 🙁 So I added some chia seeds for some added nutrients Perfect morning (or anytime) pick-me-up drink.
Can this be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge? Thanks
Yes. You can blend without the ice to store in the fridge. If you'd like, you can add a handful of ice cubes to the glass before serving.
This was easy to make and tasty! I used almond butter, cacao chips and added a little coconut as well. Will make again!
We’re so glad you loved it! I bet it was delicious with a little coconut. 😋 We’ll have to try it! Thanks for sharing!
