Why I Love This Smoothie

This healthy chocolate peanut butter smoothie is the perfect combination. I love how versatile it is. You can make it indulgent or light, depending on your mood. It fills you up and keeps you fueled for ages. And it is also gluten free and packed with protein!

Plus, it’s super quick to whip up when you need something satisfying and delicious in no time. It feels like you’re having dessert, but it’s completely guilt-free and keeps you on track with your goals!

The Ingredients

  • Peanut Butter: Make sure to use natural peanut butter with no added sugars. Almond butter or sunflower seed butter makes a great substitute for those with allergies or preferences.
  • Whey Protein Isolate (WPI): Choose flavoured or unflavoured WPI depending on your taste, chocolate protein powder is perfect for this keto peanut butter smoothie. Plant-based protein powders can also be used if you prefer. If you’re not using a flavoured protein powder, add sweetener to taste.
  • Eggs: The eggs add creaminess and extra protein. If you’re not a fan, you can skip them without sacrificing texture. I am a HUGE fan of eggs in my shakes. If you are concerned about raw eggs leave them out or pasteurise them.
  • Cocoa Powder: For a richer chocolate flavour, choose a high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder. You can substitute cocoa with cacao powder for a more intense, slightly bitter taste.

How To Make A Healthy Chocolate Smoothie

Step 1. Place all ingredients into a high speed blender and mix until smooth and creamy. It is that easy!

Variations

Dairy Free: Swap out the heavy cream for coconut cream or coconut milk, and use keto milk, peanut milk, and unsweetened almond milk instead of regular dairy milk.

Rich & Creamy: Add 1 tablespoon of cream cheese or thickened or heavy cream for a luxurious texture.

High-Protein: Include an extra scoop of your favourite collagen powder, chocolate or peanut butter-flavored protein powder.

Keto Ice Cream Boost: Add a scoop of keto-friendly vanilla or chocolate ice cream for a thicker, richer smoothie.

Fed Up Fast Style: Add 2 tablespoons of cream cheese or plain Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of MCT Oil to boost the satiety score.

Frozen Banana Smoothie: Add a small amount of frozen bananas for a thick chocolate and banana smoothie. To keep it low carb, use banana collagen or banana-flavoured whey protein to add the banana flavour to the chocolate smoothie and blend in.

What to Serve with It

This smoothie is already perfect on its own, but if you want to pair it with something, go for low-carb snacks like a handful of nuts, keto high-protein granola, or a slice of low-carb toast with peanut butter or almond butter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make it ahead?

This protein shake can be made ahead of time or even frozen. It might have some separation, so give it a good shake before consuming.

Can I make this smoothie dairy-free?

Absolutely! Yes! Just swap out the whey protein isolate for egg white protein or plant-based protein. Collagen peptides would also be a great dairy-free smoothie choice.

How can I add more protein to this healthy chocolate smoothie recipe?

Adding an extra scoop of your favourite low-carb, chocolate, or peanut butter-flavoured protein powder, or collagen will bump up the protein content. Add a tablespoon or two of hemp seeds as well for some plant-based protein.

Notes

Storage Tips: This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking, as it may separate.
Ingredient Tips: Be sure to use natural peanut butter with no added sugars. If you prefer a different nut butter, almond or sunflower seed butter works well.
For a thicker, richer texture, add 2 tablespoons of cream cheese or coconut cream. Also, if you are not using the eggs, add 2 tablespoons of cream cheese instead, or 1/4 cup thickened cream to add make the smoothie thick and creamy.
Substitutions: You can use almond milk for any other low-carb milk instead of water.
Alternatives: I always add a couple of raw eggs to my smoothies. I also love using a combination of flavoured whey protein isolate and flavoured collagen. You can add unflavoured WPI, but you may need to add a sweetener to the smoothie if not using a sweetened protein powder. For the chocolate flavour, you can use unsweetened cocoa.
Things to Watch: Keep an eye on the consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash more or keto milk. If it’s too thin, add more ice cubes and blend again for a frosty finish. With these tips, you’re guaranteed the perfect, creamy Low Carb Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie every time!
