Chunky Monkey Smoothie (Healthy + Vegan!)

– vegan – gluten free – grain free – refined sugar free – 

I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t enjoy a peanut butter smoothie, and for good reason! This chunky monkey smoothie is a sweet, creamy peanut butter dream. I love enjoying one for breakfast, lunch or if I’m craving a late-night snack. And the best part is it only requires 5 ingredients that you probably already have in your home.

Is a chunky monkey smoothie healthy? Yes!

• This smoothie makes a great meal replacer and will keep you full for hours.
• Just one smoothie has almost 17 grams of protein, making it a great post workout meal.
• If you’re on a weight loss journey and looking for a lower calorie smoothie, use less peanut butter and no maple syrup.

Kitchen essentials:

• A blender or food processor

Substitutions:

• Frozen bananas: I recommend using frozen bananas for a better consistency, but if you don’t have any on hand, you can use non-frozen bananas with a couple cups of ice.
• Plain unsweetened oat milk: you can use any non-dairy milk of choice. I prefer oat milk for it’s extra creaminess, as well as soy milk and cashew milk.
• Pure maple syrup: can be substituted for another liquid sweetener like agave nectar or date syrup as well as coconut sugar or cane sugar. Add sweetener in small increments and adjust as needed.
