Notes:
Some additional tips and information to keep in mind when making this smoothie:
- For a more intense flavor, you can try chocolate-peanut butter protein powder.
- Almond milk adds a nice flavor to this smoothie, but you could also use regular milk or any other kind of non-dairy milk you like.
Did you know that almond milk is lactose- and cholesterol-free and an excellent source of vitamin E? It’s also low in calories and high in fiber, making it a great alternative for those who are lactose intolerant or watching their calorie intake.
Furthermore, PB2 is a powdered peanut butter with 85% less fat than regular peanut butter. It’s also loaded with protein, making it a great addition to your diet. And, of course, banana is a fantastic source of vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C.
So there you have it, a nutritious and delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie that is perfect for any time of day. Happy blending!
I didn’t realize how much less fat the PB2 has than regular peanut butter! This smoothie sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
