Peanut Butter Smoothie


I love all things chocolate and peanut butter. Cupcakescookiesbrowniesblondies- you name it and it's all good in my book. But up until a few months ago, I had never tried my favorite combination in the form of a smoothie or milkshake. It was time for that to change. This peanut butter smoothie is incredibly creamy and delicious- so much better than any other version I have tried since then. While the peanut butter smoothie is good enough on its own, I always add a little bit of chocolate syrup to the mix. Feel free to leave out the chocolate syrup if you want, but it is completely non-optional for me.

And for all of you who are still sticking strong to New Years resolutions, these peanut butter smoothies are made with low-fat greek yogurt, old fashioned oats and frozen banana. Relatively healthy and delicious. Unless of course you add too much chocolate syrup. I am always guilty on that one.

Peanut Butter Smoothie
Recipe from Annie's Eats

1 cup low-fat plain greek yogurt
6 tbsp creamy peanut butter
1/2 peeled banana, frozen
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup ice
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp honey

Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until fully incorporated and completely smooth. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

  1. Oooo - this looks awesome! I'm intrigued by the oats - is that a normal ingredient in a smoothie? I'm not a big smoothie maker, but it sounds yummy! :)

  2. Love this peanut butter smoothie! I've never thought to make a peanut butter smoothie either but this sounds like it would make an awesome breakfast with all the oats, banana and greek yogurt. Hehe, I'm with you, I would totally add some chocolate syrup in here too:)

  7. What a great smoothie, Meghan! With all the healthy ingredients, I think extra chocolate syrup is warranted. I'm with you on that one!

  10. This looks amazing! I love the addition of the oats, it adds such good flavor to smoothies! And peanut butter and chocolate together can never go wrong. I think a little extra chocolate syrup is always needed ;)
