Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (regular or vanilla)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free or vegan)
Main Flavor Ingredients
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tbsp Dutch processed cocoa powder
Sweetener and Seasoning
- 6 tbsp Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (or to taste)
- 1/8 tsp sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure and set out all ingredients at room temperature to ensure smooth blending and an even texture in the smoothie.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place almond milk, heavy cream, peanut butter, sweetener, cocoa powder, and optional sea salt into the blender. Starting with liquids can help improve blending efficiency.
- Blend Smooth: Puree the mixture beginning at low speed and increasing to high. Blend for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is creamy and free of peanut butter chunks.
- Adjust Sweetness and Consistency: Taste the smoothie and add more sweetener if desired. For texture adjustments, add more almond milk if too thick, or ice cubes if too thin. Blend briefly after each addition.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with cocoa powder, whipped cream, or a drizzle of melted peanut butter for extra indulgence.
Notes
- Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream for a dairy-free or vegan version.
- Monk fruit sweetener can be replaced with other sweeteners like stevia or erythritol according to taste.
- Adjust thickness by controlling the amount of almond milk or adding ice cubes as desired.
- For a chilled smoothie, refrigerate all ingredients beforehand.
- Garnishing is optional but adds a nice presentation touch and enhances flavor.
