Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie – Barefoot in the kitchen

Rich chocolate, creamy peanut butter and frozen bananas are blended in blissful harmony in this chocolate and peanut butter smoothie – which tastes more like a peanut butter and banana milkshake than a breakfast drink.

Peanut Butter Banana Milkshake

My kids were so excited when I first gave them these smoothie milkshakes with chocolate sauce drizzled on top. It’s hard to believe that was over ten years ago. Your tastes may have changed, but desserts still disappear in the blink of an eye.

This smoothie really tastes like a peanut butter banana milkshake. When I say my kids loved it, that doesn’t even cover the whole thing. They probably thought their mother had lost her mind when they were handed milkshakes for breakfast.

I love this treat almost as much as she does. The banana adds just a hint of background flavor to this smoothie, so the peanut butter and chocolate are the main stars.

Peanut butter milkshake without ice

Frozen fruit and ice are the top two ways to get that signature smoothie texture. But I prefer my peanut butter milkshake without the ice. I use frozen fruit so I can keep my ice cream in a bowl where it belongs.

This frosty concoction seems a lot closer to a milkshake than our typical smoothies. The fats in peanut butter react in a similar way to ice cream in a blender, giving it a smooth, creamy finish.

Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake Recipe

For this recipe you will need the following ingredients:

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

To make these milkshake-like smoothies, add the frozen bananas, peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons chocolate sauce to the blender. Blend until smooth.

Add the extra milk only if needed. Taste and add more chocolate sauce if needed.

Pour into glasses and top each smoothie with another teaspoon of chocolate sauce. Top each smoothie with your choice of sliced ​​bananas or whipped cream.

If you have kids who shy away from eating their veggies, you absolutely have to try a Peanut Butter Banana Spinach Smoothie! It’s a deliciously creamy mix that you’d never guess contained a whole serving of spinach.

I also highly recommend my favorite green smoothie. I mean, I don’t name things my favorites unless they are. But for years, this was the most commonly made smoothie in our house. It’s another great way to hide the green.

And speaking of mixable goodness, this easy chocolate mousse looks incredible. (And it definitely doesn’t look low carb to me!) What’s not to love about a dessert that you can make in minutes?

For a slightly more decadent treat, my kids loved a Caramel Peanut Butter Banana Milkshake Smoothie. The sight of the drizzled caramel on the sides of the glass always raised a smile.

The Strawberry Blueberry Banana Smoothies and the Blueberry Grape Banana Smoothies were also big hits. My little comedians kept assuring me that the smoothies were… berry-good.
