Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie Bowl / Vegan

Jump To Recipe

Who doesn’t love chocolate and peanut butter? It’s a combination we fall in love with as kids and still love as adults. There’re so many ways to enjoy this dynamic duo from addictively delicious peanut butter cups to chocolate chunks dipped straight into a jar of peanut butter. So why not take these besties and make a healthy smoothie bowl out of them?!

The great thing about this plant-based smoothie bowl is that it’s loaded with protein, a whopping 15 grams per bowl! (No protein powders here!) That comes from the fiber-rich black beans and the peanut butter. Cacao is also our good friend in this feel-good breakfast, as it is densely packed with calcium and iron. So, if you’re looking to satisfy a chocolate and peanut butter craving, while getting all the health benefits of a superfood, just give these ingredients a blend. Your body and your taste buds will thank you!


Ingredients

  • 1½ cups of black beans (one 15 oz. can drained and well rinsed)

  • 2 large very ripe bananas

  • 1 ripe pear (cored and quartered)

  • ¼ cup (2 oz.) of almond milk, unsweetened

  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla

  • ¼ cup of creamy peanut butter

  • 2 large medjool dates, pitted

  • ¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt

  • ¼ cup of raw, cacao powder

  • Crushed peanuts and cacao nibs for topping

Makes 2-3 bowls


Instructions

1. First, drain and thoroughly rinse the beans to avoid a beany taste.

2. Add the beans and bananas to a blender container along with the pear, almond milk, vanilla, peanut butter and dates, followed by the salt and cacao powder.

3. Securely attach the lid to your container and blend util creamy, starting on low speed and working up to medium speed. You may have to stop and scrape down the sides of the container or use the tamper (with a Vitamix) to push the food down and around toward the blade. This will take about a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you are using.

4. Scoop the chocolatey, protein rich mixture into two or three bowls and top with crushed peanuts and cacao nibs.

Enjoy as a satisfying superfood breakfast or a filling snack!
