Notes
- You are free to use any milk of your choice, such as regular milk, full-fat milk, almond milk, oats milk, cashew milk, soy milk, etc.
- To make peanut butter smoothies, choose a peanut butter that is made out of 100% peanuts and should contain no added sugar or oil.
- I have added flax seeds to my smoothie, but it can be replaced by chia seeds. The choice is yours; whichever you want to add is fine.
- I have used Medjool dates for this recipe as it has a more caramel-like flavour, and it gives the gooey texture that I prefer.
- You can add a scoop of your most loved vanilla or chocolate protein powder.
- To make the peanut butter smoothie more creamier and filling, you can add oats, raw almonds, cashews or cashew butter.
- To put in the flavour of chocolate, you can add a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder.
- For that extra creaminess and to give it a more healthier twist, you can add a tablespoon of plain Greek yoghurt or any non-dairy yoghurt of your preference.
- If you want your smoothie to be of thicker consistency, then add more milk, and if you want it to be runner, then add more ice cubes.
- If the dates that you are using are not that soft, then soak them up for about 10 minutes in hot water.
- For garnishing, you can use whipped cream, chocolate chips or crushed peanuts.
- When it comes to making smoothies, remember that high-quality blended is required so that all the ingredients are combined well with the required amount of force or energy. It helps in making the whole process easier.
