Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie – Chocolate, peanut butter, banana, and frozen yogurt are blended together to make a killer afternoon snack

It’s officially been 2 weeks since baby girl has been home with us! It’s been a challenging two weeks but also quite rewarding. I can already tell how much she’s grown and cannot wait to watch her continue to grow each day. I am most looking forward to see her smile and giggle at us!

Being home with a newborn doesn’t give me much time to eat, believe it or not. I didn’t think anything could get me to miss a meal but nonstop feedings and diaper changes sure do fill up a day!

To keep my belly full, I’ve been turning to quick meals that I can eat with one hand – sandwiches, snack bars, and smoothies. One of my favorite smoothies is my Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie. 

Shocker. Yet another recipe highlighting the perfect duo that is chocolate and peanut butter. But there’s no denying how much I love these two ingredients together!

One of my favorite things about this smoothie is the consistency – it’s perfectly thick yet still drinkable from a straw. That is due to the fact that the recipe uses a room temperature banana – not a frozen one. When using a frozen banana, I got an icy consistency that wasn’t drinkable in the slightest.

My other favorite thing about this smoothie is the perfect balance of chocolate, peanut butter, and banana flavor – neither one stands out too much. Instead, they all come together to make one combined flavor.

To make the smoothie, it’s just as simple as you’d expect – add all the ingredients to a blender and blend. However, the ratio of ingredients is super important in this recipe. If you ignore the ratio, then you could end up with a super liquidy smoothie or worse – a thick, icy mess.

Here are a few more tips to make sure this smoothie comes out perfectly:

  1. To ensure everything blends properly, I add the liquids first, then the soft solids (banana and frozen yogurt) and then top with the ice. This ensures that the blender doesn’t stall.
  2. I like the extra thickness that the frozen yogurt adds to the smoothie, but you can always use Greek yogurt in it’s place and get the same consistency. The only difference is that the smoothie may not be as cold

And that’s all there is to it! I love having this smoothie as a snack but I’ve also enjoyed it for breakfast. I wake up with a sweet tooth so this is the perfect thing for me to enjoy first thing in the morning. How do you plan on enjoying this smoothie? Let me know in the comments below!

    Banana and peanut butter smoothies are quite easy and simple to make. How about I try it with Greek yogurt?

    I love blending chocolate, peanut butter, and banana into smoothies for a perfect balance of flavor and nutrition. This combination provides a satisfying energy know more boost and rich texture. It’s my go-to post-workout treat that satisfies sweet cravings while delivering protein, healthy fats, and potassium in every delicious sip.

    My mom always says you need to pay attention when driving, but it’s very difficult if you don’t know exactly where you’re going.

    Peanut butter and banana are two of my favorite smoothie ingredients right now. The banana adds just the right amount of sweetness and the peanut butter has some healthy fats & protein to keep you full. I need to try a version like yours with chocolate to make it even better! 😀

Nutella Macarons – delicate French almond cookie Nutella Macarons – delicate French almond cookies filled with chocolate-hazelnut Nutella spread! Classic macarons made with the proper technique learned straight from a pastry chef! 

You guys remember when I made French macarons for the first time and they were a HOT MESS? The tops were cracked and bumpy and looked more like brownies! I was determined to get them right, so I took a macaron baking class in person – and it changed EVERYTHING! 

The trickiest part? Mixing the dry and wet ingredients together. Under mix = too dry and cracked. Over mix = dense and heavy. But now I know exactly what the batter should look like!

Pro tip: Age your egg whites for 24-48 hours before making the meringue – this helps them get to the perfect consistency!

Perfect for Valentine's Day, gift-giving, special occasions, or anytime you want elegant French macarons at home! 🇫🇷

Classic Pot Roast – chuck roast slowly cooked in Classic Pot Roast – chuck roast slowly cooked in a jus made of beef broth, carrots, celery, and onions! Balsamic vinegar, thyme, and mustard give that jus a kick of flavor! 

Cold weather is in full effect, you guys! So comfort food needs to be on the menu! My husband wanted to try a good pot roast, so I used a combination of recipes to come up with the perfect one! 

The secret? Traditional aromatics (carrots, celery, onions) PLUS balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard set this roast apart with a tangy kick!

Pro tip: Sear the roast first to give it beautiful color on the outside – if you skip this step, the meat will look almost gray when cooked in the broth!

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Browned Butter – Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Browned Butter – fluffy pillows of sweet potato dumplings tossed in a sage and browned butter sauce for a comforting pasta dish you didn't know you needed! 

This gnocchi was inspired by a dish I had at a local restaurant years ago, you guys! I was skeptical about sweet potato gnocchi with just butter and sage – no cream? no tomato? But MAN, was I wrong! 

The sweet potato gnocchi is even MORE flavorful than the original! It shines on its own with little help from a heavy sauce – that's why it pairs so perfectly with a light toss in sage and browned butter!

Pro tip: Use a potato ricer to break up the sweet potatoes – don't use a food processor or it will make the gnocchi gummy and pasty! The ricer makes it super fluffy!

Perfect for fall dinners, Thanksgiving, date nights, or anytime you want restaurant-quality comfort food at home!

Sour Cream Doughnuts – dense and crispy on the o Sour Cream Doughnuts – dense and crispy on the outside, moist and cakey on the inside! Your favorite old-fashioned cake doughnuts ready in half the time as yeast doughnuts!

These are also known as old-fashioned doughnuts, you guys! They're bulky, firm on the outside, but oh-so-moist on the inside! The BEST combination of textures – crunchy yet chewy, dense yet moist! 

I fell in love with these at a local bakery, and now my husband surprises me with them from time to time! Do I have a great man or what?!

Pro tip: Don't roll the dough too thin or the doughnuts will turn to hockey pucks when you fry them! You're better off making the dough too thick than too thin!

Perfect for weekend breakfast, Easter morning, brunch, or anytime you want homemade doughnuts without the wait!

I'm more of a green enchiladas fan than red, you guys! While this sauce isn't traditional green enchilada sauce, it's got similar flavor notes! Plus, with the added milk, it's super creamy and decadent! 

The secret? A roux makes the sauce ultra creamy without needing tons of heavy cream!

Pro tip: Don't skip the lime juice! It's KEY to balancing out the flavors – this is NOT an optional ingredient!
