Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (regular or vanilla)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free or vegan)
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 tbsp Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (or to taste)
- 3 tbsp Dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Gather ingredients: Measure and prepare all ingredients. Ensure all components are at room temperature for easier blending and a smoother consistency.
- Combine in blender: Add all ingredients to the blender jar. Place the almond milk, heavy cream, peanut butter, sweetener, cocoa powder, and salt (if using) into the blender. The order doesn’t matter much, but putting liquids in first can help the blending process.
- Blend until smooth: Puree the mixture until completely smooth. Start at a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 30-60 seconds or until the smoothie reaches a creamy, uniform consistency with no visible chunks of peanut butter.
- Taste and adjust: Check the sweetness and consistency. If needed, add more Besti sweetener to taste, blending briefly after each addition. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk; if too thin, add a few ice cubes and blend again.
- Serve and enjoy: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. For an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of melted peanut butter.
Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes or use frozen almond milk cubes.
- To increase the protein content, add a scoop of your favorite chocolate or vanilla protein powder.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and ensure your peanut butter is 100% peanuts with no added dairy.
- This smoothie can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or quick blend before consuming.
