Ingredients & Substitutions

Here I explain the best ingredients for my chocolate peanut butter smoothie, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card.

Adjust the sweetness to your taste. Everyone’s taste buds are different. I don’t like my healthy chocolate peanut butter smoothie too sweet, but you do you. You can adjust the thickness, too. If your breakfast smoothie turns out too thick, just add a splash more almond milk. Too thin? Add a couple extra tablespoons of peanut butter, or simply a few ice cubes. I personally love it thick, almost like a milkshake! Check the consistency of your peanut butter. If it’s very runny, your smoothie will be less thick. You can compensate by adding more peanut butter, and an extra dash of Besti and cocoa powder to balance the extra peanut butter. Chill your glass if you have time. For an extra refreshing touch (hello, hot summer days coming up!), just pop your glass in the freezer for 15 minutes before pouring.

Banana – My kids like this version because they love banana anything. Just add a fresh or frozen banana, and you can even skip the sweetener. It does make the smoothie thicker, so you’ll need bit more almond milk. Coffee Kick – Like a thick iced mocha! Just add a shot of espresso or a small amount of strong brewed coffee. Protein Boost – I often toss a scoop of collagen protein powder into my husband’s chocolate peanut butter smoothie. You can also just add 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt for protein. Sometimes I even add frozen yogurt to make it taste like a milkshake. Vanilla – I left it out to keep this at 5 ingredients, but adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract tastes amazing. Extra Chocolate – Make my sugar free chocolate syrup and drizzle it inside your glass before pouring the smoothie inside. So good! Toppings – For these pictures, I added sugar-free whipped cream, drizzled with more peanut butter (tip: heat it briefly to make it runny!), and topped with sugar-free chocolate shavings. You could even sprinkle on some homemade granola.
