This recipe was published before Always Nourished transitioned to PCOS-focused recipes. Some of the ingredients used in this recipe may not be PCOS-friendly or compliant with the Always Nourished food and nutrition methods or protocols for PCOS.

I am teaming up with Vega and Silk to go back to basics to BUILD A BETTER SMOOTHIE! And do I have a simple, easy, nutritious and delicious smoothie for you today!

Because the only way to make chocolate and peanut butter even more delicious is to add a little banana. And to make it into a protein-packed, super-delicious smoothie.

Best served with a extra peanut butter drizzled on top…

Grab a straw, friends!

Try it for breakfast OR dessert!This chocolate peanut butter protein smoothie is a super simple blend of frozen banana (because frozen banana’s make for the creamiest, dreamiest smoothies going!), natural, homemade peanut butter (because homemade is always best), chocolate Vega One all-in-one nutritional shake powder (my favourite protein powder and smoothie-booster!!) and Silk unsweetened almond milk (because no dairy or extra sugar needed in this smoothie!).

MORE ABOUT THIS CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN SMOOTHIE RECIPE…

I just love all the flavours here… Just thinking of that peanut butter and banana and chocolate combo takes me back. Not all that far back but back to the early years of university around this time in September when I first discovered peanut butter toasted topped with sliced banana and chocolate chips. There was a solid chunk of time where PB+B+C toast was the only thing I would eat – morning, noon and night. And I was convinced it was the most delicious thing ever.

This smoothie is like that… but better.

Way better. Because this chocolate peanut butter protein smoothie is loaded with things like greens, plant-sourced vitamins and minerals, fibre, omega-3 fatty acids and probiotics all in this smoothie thanks to Vega, of course! (And most of which would never be found in my PB+B+C toasts.) There is also a ton of calcium and vitamin D thanks to the Silk almond milk.

And protein! Vega One Nutritional Shake powders have 20 grams of protein per scoop! And when you add Vega and peanut butter together the result is a smoothie packed with protein and good nutrition.

And it’s so, so, so simple and easy making it the perfect breakfast (Or snack! Or dessert!) for September and everything that comes with heading back to school, finding a new routine for fall or simply trying to shake off all the indulgences that summer had to offer.

All 5 ingredients (that’s right – five ingredients in this smoothie) get tossed in the blender and blend until thick and creamy and smooth.

Because smoothies don’t have to be complicated.

    Seriously, the most simple and delicious smoothie I drink. Sometimes I do the exact same and switch it up with a vanilla flavor, otherwise that’s about as fancy as I get. There’s something about chocolate, PB, and banana that get me coming back day after day though.
