Peanut Butter Fudge Smoothie

To those who also have a not-so-subtle sweet tooth, I’ve got your back! This decadent smoothie can even be passed off as a 5-minute meal in the morning. Each sip has minimal sugars, dreamy peanut butter protein, fibrous seeds, and an overall delicious taste. It’s practically a feel-good milkshake (minus the dairy) with hints of rich cacao and smooth peanut butter!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened (dairy-free) milk

• 1/2 banana

• 1 scoop peanut butter protein powder (this is my favorite!)

• 2 tbsp almond butter

• 2 tbsp cacao powder

• 1-2 tbsp ground flax/hemp seeds

• 1 tsp camu camu powder (optional)

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 cups ice

Directions:

1. Toss everything, except for the ice, into a blender or food processor. Blend until everything is well-combined.

2. Add in the ice, then blend until smooth. I like to pulse the smoothie here, for 2-3 seconds at a time, so it does not become too liquidy.

3. Pour into your favorite glass, then enjoy!

Notes:

• I recommend storing your glass in the fridge or freezer as you make the smoothie. Once you pour the smoothie inside, it’ll stay cooler and thicker for much longer than normal!
