Antioxidant Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

Peanut Butter Smothie

This smoothie tastes like it would be dessert, but it’s actually extremely healthy! Cocoa powder (preferably the raw kind found in most health food stores) is a natural “superfood” packed with disease-fighting antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Peanut butter gives the drink a thick milkshake-like texture, added protein, and healthy fats.

Prep time: 5

Yields: 1 smoothie

Ingredients: 

  • 1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened, organic and raw is best)
  • 1 cup unsweetened nut milk (like almond milk for example)
  • 1-2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter
  • 3 ice cubes
  • (optional) other super foods like maca powder or protein powder
  • To sweeten add a drop or so of maple syrup or honey

Directions: 

  1. Blend everything together and enjoy! Add toppings like melted dark chocolate, chia seeds, coconut, cinnamon, or nuts to garnish if you’d like.
