Cheeky Monkey Smoothie Recipe

This Cheeky Monkey Smoothie is a creamy, chocolatey treat loaded with banana, peanut butter, and chocolate. It’s perfect as a quick breakfast, post-workout drink, or dessert smoothie! 🍌🍫🐵

Ingredients (Serves 2):

  • 2 ripe bananas (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative like almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes (if using fresh bananas)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Blender:

    • Add the bananas, peanut butter, cocoa powder, milk, yogurt, and sweetener (if using) to a blender.

  2. Blend:

    • Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out.

  3. Add Ice:

    • If you're using fresh bananas, add the ice cubes and blend again until frothy.

  4. Serve:

    • Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

  5. Optional Garnishes:

    • Top with a drizzle of peanut butter, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a few chocolate chips for extra indulgence.

Tips:

  • Swap peanut butter with Nutella for a more chocolate-forward flavor.
  • Add a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder to make it a post-workout powerhouse.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, spiced twist.

Enjoy your Cheeky Monkey Smoothie—a playful, satisfying, and deliciously creamy drink that’s sure to make you smile! 🥤🍫🐒
