The perfect morning treat or afternoon snack

Name a better combination than chocolate and peanut butter. If you’re like me, you probably thought to yourself “there isn’t one!” It’s the ultimate combo, and it tastes delicious no matter the form. Whether it’s cookies, cake, ice cream, or a classic Reese’s Cup, peanut butter and chocolate just go together.

Today, we’re sticking with the classic duo but whipping it up in an unexpected way — a smoothie!

This delicious peanut butter cup smoothie is made with only six ingredients and tastes just like a Reese’s Cup! The base is a frozen banana, which gives the smoothie a nice icy texture. Then, we add chia seeds for bulk and protein powder for extra protein. Chocolate flavor is added with cocoa powder, and then we finish it off with peanut butter and milk!

Ingredients in this peanut butter cup smoothie

Below are the six ingredients you will need to make this Reese’s smoothie. If you feel tempted to add extra peanut butter, go for it!

  • Banana: Begin with 1 frozen banana. This is going to create a great smoothie texture while also contributing nutrients to the smoothie.
  • Chia seeds: Next up are chia seeds. 1 tbsp will add some bulk as well as some protein!
  • Protein powder: To truly add protein to this smoothie, use 1 scoop of protein powder (about 3 tbsp).
  • Cocoa powder: Next up, add chocolate flavor with 1 tbsp of cocoa powder.
  • Peanut butter: Use 2 tbsp of peanut butter for a delicious peanut butter cup taste.
  • Non-dairy milk: Last but not least, the smoothie is complete with 1 cup of milk.

Kitchen tools you’ll need for this recipe

Smoothies are great because they don’t require many tools. For this recipe, all you need is a blender, a spoon, and a few measuring cups! Measuring cup sizes include 1 tbsp and 1 cup. It doesn’t get simpler than that!

How to make an easy peanut butter cup smoothie

This recipe couldn’t be simpler. It involves nothing more than adding everything to a blender and mixing!

First, add all of the ingredients to a high powered blender. Add them in the order listed, as this helps them blend down most efficiently (frozen items toward the bottom).

Then, blend until the ingredients are mixed together and become completely smooth.

Pour the smoothie into a glass and top with desired toppings. Ideas include granola, nuts, or more peanut butter!

Recipe Tips

Is this recipe easy to double?
Absolutely! If you’re looking for a batch for two, this recipe can be easily doubled. I recommend keeping it to batches of two, as the blender may struggle with more ingredients than that.

Can I use almond or cashew butter?
Yes! Any nut butter will work in this recipe. Note that the flavor will be slightly different if using something other than peanut butter!

Can I use regular dairy milk?
You can. I recommend dairy-free simply because almond and oat milk taste great in this smoothie and work really well with the other ingredients! It also makes it a vegan smoothie. However, you can use your preferred type of milk and the smoothie will still turn out delicious.

    Great breakfast smoothie! I didn’t use protein powder but added oats instead. The chia seeds made it the perfect texture.

    This smoothie is so delicious and easy to make! The chia seeds thicken it up and it doesn’t have a protein flavor. This will definitely be a go to of mine!
