Ingredients
1
large
frozen banana, sliced
3/4
cup
silken tofu (about 6 ounces)
1
tablespoon
light peanut butter
2
tablespoons
PB2 (powdered peanut butter)
1–1.5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1
tablespoon
chia seeds
1
teaspoon
vanilla extract
3/4–1 cup milk of choice (dairy or unsweetened almond/oat/soy)
Optional sweetener: 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup, honey, or a date, to taste
Pinch of salt (optional, enhances chocolate and peanut flavors)
Ice (optional, a few cubes if you want extra frostiness)
Instructions
Prep the banana: Use a fully ripe banana for the best sweetness. Slice and freeze overnight in a bag or container.
Add liquids first: Pour 3/4 cup milk into the blender. This helps the blades catch the ingredients.
Layer the rest: Add silken tofu, frozen banana, PB2, light peanut butter, cocoa powder, chia seeds, vanilla, and a tiny pinch of salt.
Blend until smooth: Start low, then increase to high for 30–45 seconds. If it’s too thick, add more milk a splash at a time.
Taste and adjust: Add a touch of sweetener if needed, or another 1/2 tablespoon cocoa for a darker chocolate flavor. Blend 10 seconds more.
Serve immediately: Pour into a chilled glass. For texture, sprinkle extra chia seeds or cocoa on top.
