Much closer to a milkshake than our typical smoothies, this Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie is made rich and creamy by adding frozen bananas.
My kids were so excited the first time I handed them these drinks with chocolate drizzled on top. Even now that I’ve made it multiple times, this smoothie always disappears in the blink of an eye!
I love this treat almost as much as my kids do. The banana contributes a mere hint of flavor in the background of the smoothie. For a healthy two ingredient ice cream without any sugar added, check out the PB Banana Ice Cream I made last year!
Still have your blender out? Try this blender Chocolate Mousse! It looks incredible and I can’t wait to try it myself. What’s not to love about a dessert you can whip up in minutes?
