Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Recipe with No Banana

Next time you need a substantial snack or healthy treat, try this chocolate peanut butter smoothie made with no banana. It’s super thick, delicious, and packed with healthy fats and protein.

Fruit smoothies are my family’s most requested recipe, but nothing compares when it comes to this chocolate peanut butter smoothie. A scoop of peanut butter and Greek yogurt provides added protein and flavor my kids love to sip through a straw.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Ingredients

Only five ingredients, including ice, are needed to make this dessert-like smoothie. Let’s run down the list of ingredients you’ll need: 

  • Chocolate milk, dairy or non-dairy
  • Plain Greek yogurt
  • Natural, creamy peanut butter
  • Maple syrup or honey
  • Ice

Like most smoothie recipes, you can customize this one to the needs of your family. Use non-dairy milk and yogurt, or if you can’t have nut butter like peanut butter or almond butter, I have a video about the top 5 nut-free alternatives that taste just as great in this post!

Have frozen bananas on hand you’d like to use up? This Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake is just as heavenly with a frosty-like texture.

How to Make a Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie without Banana

Making delicious smoothies is a one-step process, and the blender does all the work. It goes a little like this: 

1.Blend

Add all the ingredients to a blender in the order listed. Blend until smooth. 

*Starting with liquids first and adding solid ingredients will ensure any smoothie recipe blends even and smooth. 

2.Sip up! 

Transfer the smoothie to a glass or to-go cup and sip away!

The best part is that I can put all of the ingredients in my blender the night before and store it in the fridge or make smoothie freezer packs, so in the morning, all I have to do is blend, and it’s ready to go!

    This is the first smoothie recipe I have found with no berries. (bananas are a berry) I am allergic to all forms of berries and most of the berries that are not true berries (strawberry). I am excited to try this so I can try a smoothie for the first time.

    I love the creaminess and the flavor is nice and sweet (I use the honey). I cut the recipe in half to make one serving at a time and made some substitutes so I used 1 Scoop chocolate protein powder, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1/2 tbsp honey, 1/2 cup ice cubes and 1/2 cup almond milk for less viscosity

        You can use regular milk but the smoothie won’t be chocolatey.

    For those who can’t have peanut butter, NO-NUT BUTTER is a WONDERFUL replacement! :o)

    I make something similar with a frozen banana instead of ice. A little extra vitamin action and makes it extra milk-shakey! Loving all of your recipes and tips!!

      And you can get chocolate peanut butter (in the States), and use regular milk. Or just eat spoonfuls.

    Can you make a bunch of these ahead and freeze them? I have some silicone push-pop molds and I’m hoping I can send these in school lunches as a sweet treat!

    What can you substitute the yogurt with for people who are allergic to dairy? Would really like to see more alts for recipes to include this..so frustrating!

      i am sure you can either use soy yogurt or soy milk (non dairy milks too) and add crushed ice. the yogurt gives it ‘thinkness’. just don’t sub water. :)

    Just wondering about the ingred list. Is ‘Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie’ an product you can buy in the US? & is that the chocolate component? The idea sounds so good, but I’m a bit confused. :)
