FAQ's

How can I make my smoothie more flavorful?

Bananas are great in smoothies because they add flavor and sweetness.

Why does my smoothie taste chalky?

Adjust the ingredients, add more fruit or protein powder and process again.

How much liquid should be in a smoothie?

The ratio of fruit and liquid should be about 3 parts fruit to 1 part liquid.

Tips

  • Use frozen bananas, they will help thicken your smoothie. Chia seeds or oats are also a great thickener.
  • A high-speed blender will help process the fruit more smoothly.
  • Limit excess sugars by using liquids without added sugars like milk, low-fat milk, oat milk, unsweetened almond milk or even coffee.
  • If you have a fresh banana you're not going to use, dice and freeze it. Next time you want a morning smoothie, pull the banana slices out of the freezer and you're good to go!

Storage

Enjoy your creamy Peanut Butter Chocolate Smoothie as soon as you're done blending.

    I followed the instructions and I ended up having to add more yogurt as this was too dry for a smoothie. I also ended up adding unsweetened vanilla almond milk as well to help out with the smoothness and consistency.

    Tried this recipe today, mine was way too thick to drink, so I ate it with a spoon : ). That being said, it was sooo good! Thanks for this recipe, I will definitely try making this again.

    We are huge consumers of peanut butter in our home. I like putting it in some Thai food occassionally. It always turns out great. Your Smoothie recipe looks so delicious.

      Thank you so much! We really enjoy that smoothie - yesterday though I added an extra banana and whizzed it up in the blender & froze it. Best no churn ice-cream ever! 😀

      Wonder if I can use zero sugar yogurt to lessen the sugar since i need to watch my sugar. Has anyone tried it?
