Chocolate Peanut Butter Power Smoothie

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie is full of protein and healthy goodness, but tastes like dessert! Yes, a chocolate protein smoothie! It's the perfect way to start your day. 

I have an amazing breakfast recipe for you today. I am all about a quick-and-easy breakfasts, like smoothies! We make this Spinach Berry Smoothie or this Strawberry Smoothie with Oats and Chia Seeds or our copycat chunky strawberry bowl all the time.

Today I'm excited to share this chocolate peanut butter protein smoothie!! 

It has greek yogurt, peanut butter, spinach, chia seeds and cocoa powder, to name a few ingredients.  I love that I can enjoy all the healthy, powerful things in this one with the flavors of a peanut butter cup!

During the school year, I make these chocolate protein smoothies in the mornings and take them with me in a stainless steel tumbler. 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Ingredients

• Banana
• Spinach
• Milk
• Greek yogurt
• Chia Seeds
• Cocoa Powder
• Peanut Butter
• Honey

It's probable that you have most or some of the ingredients in your pantry and fridge already. I've started keeping Chia seeds around because they have so many benefits and you don't even notice them in smoothies, soups, or in yogurt bowls! 

If you're balking at the sight of spinach on the list, don't! Spinach brings in a ton of vitamins and nutrients.  Trust me, you won't go back once you've tried it! 

Peanut butter always makes me think of back-to-school as it was my sandwich of choice as a kid. If you're on a peanut butter kick these days too, you'd probably like these Peanut Butter Muffins and Creamy Peanut Butter Apple Dip too.

If you like this recipe we would love if you took the time to leave a comment and positive review! Also check out our whole page of delicious drinks and smoothies.
