Method
Step 1: Add the Base Ingredients
- Add 1 banana, ice, water, protein powder, cacao powder, peanut butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to a blender.
- Starting with the liquid first helps everything blend more smoothly.
Step 2: Blend Until Smooth + Creamy
- Blend for about 30–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
- Make sure the peanut butter and cacao are fully combined with no clumps remaining.
Step 3: Adjust the Consistency
- Give it a quick taste and check the texture.
- Add more water if you prefer a thinner smoothie, or start with less liquid for a thicker, creamier consistency. You can also add extra ice to make it extra frosty.
Step 4: Customize the Flavor
- Adjust anything to your liking.
- Add more cacao for a richer chocolate flavor, more cinnamon for warmth, or extra peanut butter for an even creamier smoothie.
Step 5: Serve + Enjoy
- Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy immediately while cold and creamy. It’s rich, chocolatey, naturally sweet, and perfect for breakfast, post-workout, or an easy afternoon snack.
