I actually made two different smoothie recipes and swirled them together to make sure you get some chocolate and peanut butter in every bite. Then I topped it with some vegan coconut whipped cream and an actual chunk of peanut butter cup. 

What’s in each layer?

Serves: 2 servings

Ingredients:

Peanut Butter Layer:

  • 1 banana, frozen
  • ¼ cup peanut flour OR 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Silk Almond Milk
  • 4 large ice cubes


Chocolate Layer:

  • 1 banana, frozen
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • handful of spinach
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Silk Almond Milk



Instructions:

Peanut Butter Layer:
Place all ingredients in a blender or magic bullet. Mix until smooth.

I love the addition of Silk Almond Milk to smoothie because it keeps things dairy free and makes them OOBER smooth. 

I decided to use peanut flour for this recipe to keep things lower fat and boost the protein powder. If you do not have peanut flour, feel free to use any kind of peanut butter (or nut butter for that matter).
