Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (regular or vanilla)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free or vegan)
Main Ingredients
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 tbsp Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (or to taste)
- 3 tbsp Dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the required ingredients and ensure they are ready for use.
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure and prepare all components, making sure they are at room temperature for easier blending and a smoother consistency.
- Combine in Blender: Place the almond milk, heavy cream, peanut butter, sweetener, cocoa powder, and optional sea salt into the blender. Add liquids first to facilitate blending.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture starting at low speed and gradually increasing to high. Continue blending for 30-60 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy and uniform with no visible peanut butter chunks.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more sweetener if needed, blending briefly after each addition. Adjust thickness by adding almond milk if too thick or ice cubes if too thin and blend again.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Optionally garnish with cocoa powder, whipped cream, or a drizzle of melted peanut butter for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For a dairy-free or vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
- Use Dutch processed cocoa for a smoother, less acidic chocolate flavor.
- Adjust sweetness to preference using the powdered monk fruit sweetener or alternative sweeteners.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best blending results.
- Garnishes like whipped cream or melted peanut butter add richness and visual appeal but are optional.
