Peanut Butter Banana Chickpea Shake (5 Ingredients!)

Really tasty! I wanted more without adding too many extra calories so I added a handful of fresh spinach and a couple ice cubes which did the trick. Gonna be my new go to when I have an awkward amount of leftover chickpeas

Wow! This shake was rich, creamy, & super filling! Thank you for another fabulous recipe! Xoxo.

Thank you so much for making a more affordable alternative to all of the protein smoothies out there! I don’t even taste the garbanzo beans, they just add a bit of creaminess. And they are far cheaper than fancy vegan protein powders! I swapped out the peanut butter for almond and it tastes delicious.

I just made this with soy milk and it was amazing! I also didn’t use a freezed banana because it’s chilly today and I didn’t feel like it. The refrigerated soy milk made it cool enough for me.

I love that it’s made with chickpeas, and no worries, it doesn’t taste like them, I’m just always trying to eat more legumes as well as find more filling breakfast recipes. It’s got a rich taste and it’s definitely satiating. 😻

I haven’t made this in quite a while. I only used 1\2 banana for 1 serving I switched it up and used maple syrup and added Greek yogurt (1/4 cup) WOW!! Delicious. Might be my new go to…..👍🏻👍🏻

I was looking for a yummy smoothie recipe as an after dinner snack instead of our usual ice cream or Oreos. This was a fantastic option! Added some whip cream on top and it made a perfect dessert for my husband and I :D

I made this because I love peanut butter cups and wondered if it was really as good as the comments say it is. Wow!! The first time I made it, I didn’t peel the chickpeas and it was great. I just made a second batch and I took the time to peel them. There is no difference in flavor or texture. I divided the mixture into four containers and put them in the freezer. I think I have an ice cream substitute that has actual nutritional value. I really love it. I am wondering if I can use other beans and still keep the flavor.

I made these into popsicles for my daycare children. I don’t always snack with them, but today I did. Every single one was devoured and the parents were impressed with the recipe.

Wow is this delicious! Thick and creamy! Thank u Dana!!

So good! Perfect afternoon treat. Love the thickness! Yuuuum.

This is so delicious!!

My mind is blown. Chickpeas!! I didn’t have dates so I subbed 1/2 tsp maple syrup. I only had 1 frozen banana so I added 1 fresh. Delicious!!

Amazing! Was looking for a high-protein smoothie and this was better than I was even expected. It looks so caramelly in the photos and I tried to convince my eyes that it was the colours deceiving me because there’s nothing in the ingredients that would make it taste like that. However, after making it, it somehow managed to taste and smell like chocolate-caramel-peanut butter dessert. And this is from somebody who usually doesn’t like peanut butter at all but I sometimes don’t mind it with chocolate. Knowing me, I like this so much that I will probably it every day until I’m sick of it.

I don’t understand how somebody is saying it came out salty. I used low-sodium chickpeas (not even salt-free) and added a pinch of salt and it came out great and not too salty at all. My peanut butter was salt-free though, maybe they needed to use salt-free peanut butter.

Impressive. No bean taste. Tasted like a chocolate shake. I was having a lazy day and so it was lunch for me and the kids along with french fries. They asked for more and it was filling because of the beans and I felt like I gave them something with fiber. Thank you!

Omg I’m in love with this recipe! I am a sugar addict and this takes care of all my cravings but in a healthier way. Thank you so much!

I made this. It’s a big O.M.G. I used soy milk and dark chocolate chips. It’s so thick and sweet. Definitely making this again 🤤

Definitely didn’t love this one, even though most of the other Minimalist Baker smoothie recipes are a hit! Mine came out tasting salty, even though my chickpeas were 100% salt-free (I know, since I had some I cooked from scratch), I only buy low-sodium peanut butter, and I left out the optional sea salt. I ended up blending more banana and date to counteract the saltiness…that made it drinkable but meant that I didn’t really taste the peanut butter or chocolate. I’ll stick to some of the other smoothie recipes that are tried and true.

I really enjoyed this recipe! Its supeeeer creamy and delicious and a great start to the day! Would recommend :)

This is absolutely delicious and filling! It satisfies every craving and replaces my lunch when working from home.

Any suggestions for banana substitute (other than avocado)?

Creamy, delicious and easy to make! I made mine with chocolate protein powder instead of cocoa powder and it tasted great.

This shake was sooo good! I was a little unsure that it would taste good with the addition of chickpeas, but I was pleasantly surprised. The shake was nice and thick. I used a combination of almond butter and peanut butter. It is definitely rich and makes a wonderful after dinner treat!

I made this for after workout dinner and it hit the spot. I didn’t add the dates because my banana was very ripe, substituted PB with PB Fit, used 1 banana, used more almond milk, and a sprinkle of nutmeg. It definitely helped with the post workout leg cramps and exhaustion. It will be my go to for a healthy guilty pleasure and definitely a PMS fix. I’m going to sneak in some baby kale next time.

When I first made it following the recipe exactly it was too rich and creamy for me. I threw it back in the blender with some leftover coffee and some icecubes. Perfect!

LOVE. THIS. Made it twice already, the second time I slipped in a heaping Tbsp of peanut butter protein power (Amazing Grass) in place of half the PB for a little extra protein. Amazing in a bowl topped with blueberries, chia seeds, and shredded coconut.

Obsessed.

Made this pot post-workout breakfast.. felt like I was eating a chocolate peanut butter milkshake! Made as is but added a few ice cubes for more volume. Absolutely delicious. Will prob save this as a dessert in the future because it is SO GOOD!

This is my new favorite smoothie/milkshake recipe. I used it as a post run snack. It tastes great with carob for people who like carob (if you don’t like carob you probably wouldn’t like it). And with refined sugar free aquafaba whipped cream.

Amazingggggg

Just had this milkshake for breakfast and it was outstanding! I didn’t have dates so I subbed a bit of agave. Chickpeas in shakes for life now! Tomorrow will be trying another version by omitting peanut butter and adding in cocoa. Thanks for another winning recipe!

I just made this, and it is sooo good! I love that the chickpeas make it filling and thick, and if I didn’t see the recipe, I’d have no idea that it isn’t ice cream in here! I’m so excited to make it again!

Yum! My blender is cheap, so I didn’t want to risk using a date (plus my frozen banana was super ripe anyway). I let the banana thaw for a little bit, then added dairy milk to the blender first before the other ingredients. Cacao powder was the perfect chocolatey touch, and don’t skip the extra freezing time. It really makes it thick, just how I like my shakes!

We’ve made this recipe several times already! We’ve done it with chick peas and with great northern beans. We all love it!! Thanks for a delicious, healthy recipe we all enjoy!!

I made this today for my kids & I. Followed the directions exactly as you listed & it turned out amazing! Super rich & creamy! I will definitely make again ?

This is my dinner tonight and its so good.done it many times.shared this recipe to my sister.a lot of your recipes are so delicious and easy to follow.

When I saw this recipe, I was so excited to make it (I am a huge fan of everything chickpea!). It did not disappoint! Delicious! Tasted like such a treat, but oh so wholesome. I used some plain soaked dates since I don’t have medjool ones right now, but it worked fantastic. I don’t even have a good blender!

This was so thick and delicious! I used 1 tbsp chocolate collagen peptides w/ reishi and 1 tbsp cocoa powder as well as powdered pb. Will definitely make again!

Loved it! So tasty.

This was delicious! I only had one banana so added some frozen strawberries. Also added a little flax for healthy omegas. :) Will make again!

Just made this to satisfy a sweet craving. It is absolutely delicious, and a great shake up from regular vegan smoothie combos that I do. I misread the recipe and only added one banana, other than that I added in everything else (including one Tbs of cacao and a small pinch of salt), it was super thick and super delicious. An absolute smoothing game changer!!

10 out of 10 Goldblums, would make again. This contented my sweet-tooth and nutbutter addiction.
And as someone who likes them shakes THICK, this was the most satisfying one I’ve had. The chickpeas and frozen bananas even gave a little bit of soft crunch which for me was amazing.
Alterations:
Sunflower butter concoction (added turmeric, a dab of maple syrup, and a squeeze of this caramel flavored Stevia stuff I also highly recommend)
1 coconut date roll
3 Tablespoons of almond milk
Didn’t even need the chocolate :-0
A million thanks for this recipe.

My husband and I attend a local gym where a company called Impulse Smoothy resides. Maybe once a week we splurge on shakes, and my favorite was the Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein shake. I hate spending the money, but they were ohh soo good. You can imagine, when I stumbled upon this recipe, how excited I was to try this out! I not only get to save money, but I also can guarantee my ingredients! I made this recipe precisely as suggested and it came out simply amazing! It is now a household staple for my husband and I and it makes the perfect recommended size, for nutritional purposes ; )….would I want more….oh Yes! But, I will remain modest with my consumption. haha. We prefer ours a little less thick, but adding the almond milk and ice cubes helps a ton. Amazing! Well Done and thank you so much!!!

Made this twice now – my blender isn’t the greatest, so I added in a lot more milk than called for, but I have no complaints :) You definitely get the flavour of banana, so could I say it’s almost like having nice cream? The second time I added in a quarter cup of protein powder for even extra protein and it still turned out great. Thank you!

This was so good! Using chickpeas was such a nice alternative to protein powder. Thanks for such a good idea. I added some frozen cauliflower rice to make it extra creamy!

Delicious!!! ?can’t taste the chickpeas at all!!

Made it woth coconut milk and cocoa butter. It was perfect and really yummy! Thank you for the healthy vegan recipe!

OMG! I made this exactly per your recipe and it was incredible. I had never had chickpeas in the form of a drink before so it surprised my by how good it tasted. My son even loved the taste. A special thanks to Minimalist Baker for helping me change my lifestyle in recent months. Now if only my husband would get on board:)

Fabulous loved the flavour made to recipe just added more water as needed for my blender and yes with extra water made 2 small shakes, but I enjoyed the flavour I decided not to share??

Super easy, super yum! Made this with ‘normal dates’, (a few of the dried kind zapped with a touch of water). And cows milk. Kiddies & I loved it for breakfast! Pretty grainy for us, as our blender is just a cheapie, but no complaints!

Loved it.

Easy, delicious and super rich. Loved it!

Wow – this is my new favorite shake! Tastes like a totally indulgent desert, but I think is pretty healthy overall. It was really thick and creamy, and not too sweet but the mix of flavors between the peanut butter, cocoa and banana is just heaven. Excited to play around with chickpeas in other smoothie recipes!

The recipe doesn’t make two shakes. I followed the recipe exactly and I only ended up with one shake. Did I do something wrong? It’s really high in calories if it’s only one shake. Thank you for the recipe though. I like that I couldn’t taste the chickpeas.

Because I’m an extremely lazy cook I made this with Banana Almond Milk rather than using frozen bananas. After I whipped it all up I put the canister in the freezer, as suggested, and I ended up with a YUMBO shake!
Thanks for an easy, killer recipe!

5 stars for taste. My blend-tec couldn’t handle this and needed another 1/2 cup of almond milk to get things going.

I made this today- very easy recipe. I used fresh made cashew milk and 1/4 cup chickpeas.
I did not taste the chickpeas but it created a very smooth consistency.
Delicious!

So, it’s nighttime here … i had some chickpeas cooked for dinner. Was a bit dazed after a long day of work, as to what I should make of it. Tada ! your mail show up … & I ended up blending ’em chickpeas for a thicc and yummy night shake. Thank you !

This recipe says it makes two smoothies, but when I made it there was only enough for one. I followed the recipe exactly, not sure if I missed something or if the serving size was wrong.
