Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie
Everyone loves peanut butter and chocolate – especially this better-for-you version! This smoothie is high in protein, making it perfect after a workout, fire, or training. For a thick and creamy texture, freeze bananas in slices. Using too much ice will dilute the flavor.
Active Prep Time: 5 minutes
Makes 1, 16 oz serving
Ingredients
- ¾ cup dairy, almond, or soy milk
- ½ banana, frozen
- 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
- ½ Tbsp peanut butter
- 1-2 handfuls of spinach (optional but recommended)
Directions
- Combine the ingredients into a 16 oz portable blender cup and blend. Add ice as needed
Nutrition
- 1 smoothie: 315 calories, 37g carbs, 7g fat, 28g protein, 5g fiber
Notes
- To get a full serving of veggies without the taste, add spinach. Fresh spinach blended into smoothies is tasteless, but it will turn your smoothie green!
- Add more peanut butter, banana, or oats to increase the calories for weight gain or as a meal replacement.
