Can I Make a Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Without Using a Banana?
Sure, Here are a couple of ways:
1. Swap the banana for ½ cup of plain Greek yoghurt and add some ice cubes. The yoghurt will give it that creamy texture, and the ice will make it nice and cold.
2. Try using half a ripe avocado instead of the banana, and throw in some ice. You might need a bit more sweetener to balance the flavours.
How Can I Make This Smoothie Vegan?
It’s super simple! Just use soy milk or any nut milk you like (oat milk is awesome with chocolate and peanut butter!). And instead of honey, sweeten it up with maple syrup for that vegan-friendly twist.
How Long Does a Peanut Butter Smoothie Last in the Fridge?
If your blender isn’t super strong, you might need to add more almond milk to help it blend smoothly. A good tip is to add the frozen banana a little bit at a time and blend in between. To keep your smoothie fresh, put any leftovers in sealed containers or jars in the fridge. They’ll stay yummy for up to one day.
What’s the Best Way to Store Smoothies?
Pour your smoothie into sealed containers to keep it safe. You don’t want other smells from your freezer mixing in and messing up the taste! For extra protection, you can use a vacuum sealer. Once your smoothie’s all sealed up, it’s ready to go in the freezer. It’ll stay tasty for a few days or even weeks!
