Top Tips for making Creamy Smoothies

Frozen Fruit: Using frozen banana is the best for this recipe because it creates a colder, creamier texture for your finished smoothie! It also makes the entire smoothie colder which I think ALWAYS makes it taste better!
Add Slowly: When it comes to adding the liquid to your chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie, I recommend going slowly. This will ensure that everything gets mixed thoroughly and that it is super creamy.
Scrape down the sides: As you blend on a low speed, be sure to stop now and then to scrape the sides down. This will ensure that everything gets mixed evenly into the smoothie and that it turns out as creamy as possible!

Healthy Add-Ins

This smoothie is already extremely healthy and is made with whole, simple ingredients to create amazing flavor and texture while also having great health benefits! You can totally add in some other ingredients to suit your needs and preferences! Here are a few ideas:

Protein Powder: If you want to up the protein to make it a chocolate peanut butter banana protein smoothie, simply add a scoop of your favorite vanilla protein powder to the blender and blend away!
Chia Seeds/ Flax Seeds: Both chia and flax seeds will add fiber and substance to your smoothie, making it go a little further and keeping you full and energized for even longer.
Spinach: A handful or 2 of the superfood spinach will up the iron and fiber in your smoothie, making it even healthier than it already was. Plus, spinach doesn’t have a strong taste so it won’t alter the peanut butter banana goodness that you have going on.
Cauliflower Rice: Similar to spinach, cauliflower rice won’t alter the taste of your smoothie too much, but it will add a bit more substance to make it go further and keep you full!
