Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake

This is our go-to chocolate PB smoothie. We use half or less of the almond milk it calls for, but that requires a vitamix for power.

I’ve been making this for years with regular milk. It’s a staple and all my kids love it! Sometimes I throw in a handful of spinach and no one can tell.

Soooo good! I used chocolate protein powder and 3 tbs powdered peanut butter and added a 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt. Perfect breakfast and definitely a keeper!!!!

This is soo delicious, thank you for the recipe! I added less milk and used a frozen banana so it’s thicker and like a smoothie bowl!
I just wanted you to know that it is a lot more than 382 calories, I am in a calorie deficit currently so logged it into myfitnesspal and without any toppings or add ins it is 521 calories.

This was amazing, made it as per the recipe but with oatly barista as that is what I had. It was so good, it tastes like a five guys shake! I was seriously surprised just how delicious this was!

YUM! So good. Was looking for an alternative to Smoothie King’s Power Peanut Plus Chocolate Smoothie and this is it! Used dark chocolate cocoa powder and it was extra good.

This smoothie recipe is amazing. Has been our go-to dessert smoothie for years!

Omg this shake was amazing! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I also added a scoop of vegan protein powder for some added protein. I think this is my new go to morning shake!

Usually when I make vegan shakes like this, I just wing the proportions. I won’t do that again. These are perfect. It tasted better that the real Icecream milkshake I made earlier this week and didn’t feel the “grossness” of too much sugar after. Thank you again for another great recipe!

So I only had chocolate (sweetened) almond milk – it was definitely sweet but oh so delicious! I added some chia seeds in as well.

I made this yesterday, but subbed the almond milk for soya as that’s what I had in. Omg absolutely delicious, I will defo be making this on a weekly basis! I can’t wait to try more of your shake recipes, I have tried a number of your recipes and everytime they have been a success! Thank you.

Used rice milk
Added cardamon nutmeg cinnamon
And some hemp seed ….
Bomb…

This smoothie is delicious- tastes just like a milkshake. Would absolutely recommend!

This was divine! I used oat instead of almond because thats what I had, and almond butter instead of peanut and it was so chocolaty and satisfying as a desert! If I was having it as a breakfast shake i’d leave out the dates as the ripe banana has enough sweetness.

Thank you so much, I have made lots from your blog recently and have loved everything!

Made this and devoured it…freaking delicious! I’m pregnant and hungry all the time and made this as an evening snack. I made a couple of modifications and additions to bulk this up for my insane appetite…about 2 tsp. maple syrup (didn’t have dates), 1/3 c. Greek yogurt (plain unsweetened), about 2 TBSP of an oatmeal chia flax mix, and 1 TBSP of Nutella because why not? It turned out that amazing and I love that I have a great new recipe to play with! Thank you!

This was very tasty! I’ve been looking for other ways to get through frozen bananas that don’t involve baking so I’m happy to have stumbled upon this. I added a splash of vanilla and maple syrup as the sweetness of the dates didn’t seem to come through.

Have made this twice, and I swear this tastes better than any chocolate bar or ice cream out there <3 And only took 3 minutes to whip up!

So yummy! It feels like you are treating yourself with rich chocolatey goodness and our 4 kids ages 3-8 LOVE it! We added the recommended/optional ice.

wow, I have just made this as i was craving chocolate but wanted an healthier alternate, and this was so delicious! Already want another one. :)

I just made this bc I was craving a peanut butter chocolate shake… Adjustments I made included using real milk, a regular banana (didn’t have frozen), and adding hemp, chia and flax seeds.
The dates didn’t really blend well (probably the setting I used on the blender) but it didn’t matter, this shake was delicious!!! Totally hit the spot and I don’t feel too full after having it, which I usually do after indulging in a store bought shake! Thank you for this delicious recipe, I will definitely have to make this more often.

Delicious as always, Dana!

Have had this a few times. My almost 4 year old daughter loves this shake and always gets excited when I say I’m going to make it. She calls it her chocolate milkshake ice cream.

Made this for dessert tonight. Split it with my hubby. Cool, creamy, PB chocolate goodness! The dates didn’t chop fine enough in my blender, but it worked out, as I liked the little bites of sweetness coming through my straw :)

Oh my goodness! I love this so much. SO rich and delicious. Next time I will try adding chia seeds or flaxseeds. Thanks so much!

I was skeptical but this was delicious and satisfying.

Really needed a snack and this fit the bill. Smooth, creamy deliciousness.

I just made this, exactly as described, only my bananas weren’t frozen, but I did add generous amounts of ice. It’s delicious, one of the best-tasting smoothies I’ve ever made. From now on, I’ll always make sure I have the ingredients at hand to make this on a regular basis. So good!

I’m so impressed by how rich and delicious this was. Awesome recipe. Thank you!

Exceeeds expectations ..

Extremely tasty. I did the half cup of ice, a half tablespoon of hemp seeds and one tablespoon of flax seed meal optionals. Can’t taste the hemp seeds and if anything it seems to help along the flavor of the other ingredients. Thanks for posting. You’re a godsend!

I added in about 1/2 cup organic peanuts I keep in the freezer and used date syrup (2tsp, only dates) I got at the Indian foods market. I also added about 1 TB flax + hemp hearts each, 1tsp cinamon and 1 scoop protein powder + 1 large handful spinach leaves. Sooo good. I could have ice cream every day and this is better.

I have made this recipe at least 8 times, but today I added about a cup of power greens (mixed baby kale, spinach, chard, etc). Pow!
It really adds lightness and freshness to an already stellar smoothie.

I’ve caved and recently gotten on the smoothie train. Loved the flavour! I subbed the almond milk for just under 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt and used water for the liquid. Also added ice cubes and a handful of spinach! Super yummy. I recently made maple peanut butter so i was excited to try it in a smoothie! 10/10

Just made this for breakfast. SO YUMMY!! One date was plenty, and I added 2 Tblsp hemp seeds for extra protein. Absolutely delicious, Dana. Love your healthy, plant-based recipes.

I wasn’t planning to make it for breakfast it looked too heavy for early morning, but wow its my new favorite smoothie recipe!
Note: I didn’t add the dates and only used 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder.

I loved this recipe! Gives me my little chocolate fix. 5/5

Hands down addictive, yummy amazingness!! My other half and I aren’t vegan or particularly healthy all the time, but we got addicted to „snickers shakes“ in Sri Lanka, so I vowed to find a healthy recipe the minute I got home…and I did. This is soooo tasty!! Worked perfectly the first time by following instructions and tips, adding by taste little by little. I soaked the dates and compensated the warmth with 2 ice cubes, which worked a treat. I’ll confess I added a 3rd date as we like the sweet things in life. This is the ideal sweet treat! Excited now to try many more of these fantastic recipes

My favorite go-to shake recipe. SO flavorful for so few ingredients. Whenever I have chocolate almond milk on hand, I add in a 1/2 cup of that, plus 1 cup of regular unsweetened almond milk. Fantastic recipe… Thanks MB!

This was so good! I made only one serving and it definitely wasn’t enough haha next time I gotta make two servings just for me ;)

THIS SMOOTHIE SHAKE THING.
My boyfriend (meat and dairy loving Midwestern man) loves this smoothie and so do I! I didn’t have all of the ingredients so I played around.
Omitted the dates – added a bit of maple syrup for sweetness
Extra pinch of salt because I love salt
Didn’t have almond milk on hand so I created peanut/pb? milk by blending 3 tbsp of pb with 1 1/2 c of water

Turned out fantastic! Will be making again and again

This is phenomenal; I wish I could give it 10 stars! It feels like a guilty pleasure, but there’s nothing to feel guilty about! I have made this for my mom who has an autoimmune disorder that she has recently figured out flares up with any type of sugar, even natural sugars like honey or maple syrup. She was overjoyed to be able to have a “treat” again. I also have a 6 1/2 month old that we have been doing baby led weaning and this is probably her favorite thing that she has tried, lol.

Hubby has been lifting weights at the gym lately and was online last night looking for protein smoothies but none of them were wfpb. So I did a search and found your shake recipe. I did a test run last night and we both thought it was delicious! So I made 2 more batches this morning. The first one I added a scoop of vegan protein powder for my hubby before he headed to the gym, and my girls and I shared the 2nd. I see myself making this every day now! I’ll probably make another today and make popsicles ?.

Pure heaven!

This was perfect in my hormonal frenzy to satisfy a chocolate craving.

I made this, and it is amazing. Also, kosher for Passover!

I was put off by seeing dates in the recipe just because I’m not the biggest fan of their flavor, but they really helped add a sweetness that made it taste like it was sweetened with real sugar! It tasted like a creamy Reese’s pb cup in a glass ❤️ delicious recipe

i made this today as my late lunch after a workout. the only thing i modified was adding some sunwarrior protein powder in “natural” (unflavored, no additional sweeteners). i personally don’t like the flavor of bananas in smoothies, so i tried chopping and freezing my bananas while they were still green. because of that, the banana flavor didn’t overpower the drink like i normally find when grabbing from a smoothie place. this was such a great balance of flavors. thank you for pressing me to add dates to my drink. what a treat for myself after having a good sweat :)
