    Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie

    Published: Oct 26, 2012 · by Nicole · Updated: Sep 15, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    After the massive amount of cooking last week, I wanted this week to be easy. Sometimes you want fancy pasta with artichokes and white wine. And other times, you want to eat nachos while wearing sweatpants and watching RuPaul's Drag Race.

    So for an incredibly easy lunchtime treat, I whipped up this delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie!

    It's about 400 calories, so this is a meal smoothie not a snack smoothie! It's made like my breakfast shakes, with oats, so it keeps you full for a while.

    I had plenty of coconut milk on hand, so I went ahead and made this smoothie completely plant based too!

    Tips & Tricks

    You can use any kind of milk you prefer - dairy or nondairy will both work just fine in this recipe. If you're using coconut milk, be sure to use the refrigerated kind that is meant for drinking - not the canned stuff!

    Oh, and you can also make this with frozen bananas which is kind of fun because your smoothie comes out nice and cold.

    Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie

    How to Make a Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

    • Soak ½ cup of oats in 1 cup of coconut milk (my new favorite non-dairy milk!)
    • Blended it with a small banana, a tablespoon of peanut butter, and a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.
    • Add sweetener to taste, if you like.

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup oats
    • 1 cup coconut milk refrigerated kind, such as Silk
    • 1 banana
    • 1 tbsp peanut butter
    • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
    • agave syrup or similar sweetener, to taste
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Mix ½ cup of oats into 1 cup of Silk coconut milk. Set it aside to soak for a few hours.
    • In a blender, combine the oat/coconut milk mixture with a banana, peanut butter, and cocoa powder.
    • Add sweetener, such as agave, to taste.

    Notes

    For this recipe you'll want the coconut milk beverage that you can find in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. This will not work well with canned coconut milk, which is much thicker and stronger tasting.

    Green Tomato Relish

    Green Tomato Relish from Farmgirl Fare // I'm using up my green tomatoes, guys! And also some red peppers that I got from the garden last weekend. This recipe makes a BIG batch, so we ended up freezing most of it.

    Maffe Sauce with Roasted Cauliflower & Butternut Squash

    Kitchens of Africa Maffe Sauce with Roasted Cauliflower & Butternut Squash + Garlic Naan // I was excited to try this when I saw it at Earth Fare because the company that makes it is based in Raleigh. Yay for local business! I've also seen it at Whole Foods, so if you live in the area, go buy a few jars because it's good stuff. As I mentioned in my 9 Pantry Staples for Quick + Easy Meals post, I love simmer sauces and use them all the time for fast dinners. Throw in some of your favorite veggies, beans, or proteins and serve with rice or naan. Easy!

      Looks like a yummy week! Have you tried PB2? I think you might be able to use twice the amount of the peanut butter for the same calories as 1 tbsp.

      Have a great weekend!

        I need to give that a try. I could probably eat a quarter cup of peanut butter in a sitting if it weren't for the calories. ;(

          1/4 cup!? Amateur! HA!

          I would slather half a jar on a king sized Special Dark and sit in the closet and eat it. Oops, did I type that?

            When I temped, I had a cubicle next to someone who would eat peanut butter out of a jar, with a spoon, all day long. She wouldn't eat lunch, either. Just peanut butter, 9-5.

      I do something very similar except that I use the low calorie version of SILK chocolate with real Cacao powder and I use agave nectar as the sweetener to balance the Cacao. I use fresh smooth peanut butter and wait for the oil to seperate and then drain it off. I investigated the use of powdered peanut butter and it appears that it requires twice as much to get to the same place flavor wise and at a signifigantly higher cost. I started out trying to duplicate that well known peanut butter cup and my 12 year old and I believe what we have today is even better and a lot less hard on the calorie count.

        Very interesting! So you're essentially making your own peanut powder by separating it from the oil? I wonder if you could use the oil in cooking then...

      I love making smoothies with frozen fruit to avoid watering them down with ice! We use 1/2 cup skim milk, a frozen banana, 1 tablespoon chocolate pudding powder and 1 tablespoon peanut butter. So good! I'll have to check and see how it tastes with cocoa powder instead of the pudding!

        I LOVE coconut milk! The refrigerated kind is lower in calories than the canned kind, but it's creamier than other non-dairy milks.
