Method
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
- Measure all ingredients accurately. If using peanut butter, make sure it’s smooth and well-mixed.
Step 2: Add to Blender
- Add almond milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, protein powder (if using), MCT or coconut oil, vanilla extract, ice cubes, and sweetener to the blender.
Step 3: Blend Smooth
- Blend on high speed for 30–60 seconds until fully smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if necessary.
Step 4: Adjust Consistency
- Check consistency. Add more almond milk if too thick, or more ice if you prefer it thicker and colder. Blend again briefly.
Step 5: Add Seeds (Optional)
- If using chia or flax seeds, add them last and pulse for a few seconds to mix. This avoids over-blending and maintains texture.
Step 6: Taste and Adjust Sweetness
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetener if needed. A small pinch of salt can also enhance flavor.
Step 7: Serve
- Pour into a tall glass or smoothie cup. Optional toppings include a sprinkle of cocoa powder, chopped peanuts, or whipped cream (keto-friendly).
