healthy eats: Peanut Butter Cup Power Smoothie

Thursday, February 13, 2014 5 Comments

Peanut Butter Cup Power Smoothie | @mamamissblog #healthyeats #CocoaVia #peanutbutter

When I think Valentines Day, I think chocolate – don’t you?!  The flowers aren’t important, the dinner isn’t that important – but hey, there better be some chocolate involved–  am I right?!  Buuuuut…I’d really rather not have chocolate added to my waistline.

So I’ve gone & done it – I’ve super charged my Peanut Butter Shake and turned it into a Peanut Butter Cup Power Smoothie!

I’ve filled it with some spinach, some flax, and my favorite – my chocolate CocoaVia® supplement.

Hey, I’m all about experimenting in the kitchen & trying to find healthier ways to make things.  Quite honestly, I mean for-reals, you can’t even taste the healthy stuff in this smoothie – you really can’t.  It’s a surefire way to sneak in some unsuspecting veggies!





For a fruiter version – here’s another yummy CocoaVia® recipe I just made recently too.

Peanut Butter Cup Power Smoothie

Peanut Butter Cup Power Smoothie - It's a surefire way to sneak in some unsuspecting veggies into your daily dose of chocolate.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh spinach
2 Tablespoons Flax Seed
2 frozen bananas, cut in thirds
2 tablespoons all natural* creamy peanut butter
1/8 cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons special dark cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups vanilla almond milk
1 packet CocoaVia® Sweetened Dark Chocolate

Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Add more almond milk to make the smoothie less thick.

Notes

*natural peanut butter = ingredients are only peanuts and 1% or less of salt. I like Smuckers.

***I prefer natural peanut butter without all the extra "stuff", but I'm positive regular ol' peanut butter would be just fine too :)

As a creative, I often forget to take the time to just intentionally sit and draw, just to draw, with no clear path in mind.  To let the pen lead me in a direction. 

I don’t know who she is… she was just in my head ✍🏻🌼🌸
{V said she looks like if Frida had a daughter} 🤔😆🤷🏼‍♀️

It felt good tho - really really good - to just draw.

Speaking of yummy breakfast. Let’s forget the Speaking of yummy breakfast. 

Let’s forget the kiddos & their fruit platter for a moment shall we 😉

This is my EVERYDAY breakfast - my strawberry chocolate protein shake! 

🍓🍫After working on several protein shake concoctions for the past year… trying to find the best tasting/best macro ratio/least calorie one for me - this is it. I have this every morning after my workout… literally every morning. I will also make it with the Afterburn vanilla plant based (the whey based one is too much for my stomach) protein powder too, but I prefer the chocolate. 

(swipe for ingredients/macro breakdown)

Now, protein shakes… yeah I know, ewwww, right?! Noooooo!  Guys, before I started at Burn, almost a year ago, the last protein shake I had was over 20 years ago (when I was fitness crazed twenty something) - I HATED protein shakes.  They were sooooo gross that I used to hold my nose to drink them quickly… they were nasty. #nojoke #iheldmynose

Friends, protein powder has come a looooonnnnng way in 20 years!  Now I don’t know about other protein powders out there, I looked around a little, but I couldn’t find anything comparable to the calorie/macro ratio that Afterburn has.  #notanad #myhonesttogoodnessopinion
Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗 I love doing little Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗

I love doing little boards like this for the kids meals - you get the most bang for your buck. Plus, it looks more fancy & complicated than it really is - it’s really just fruit placed on a plate with yogurt & waffles. 

They each get their own board. #becausesiblings #noexplanationneeded 

I only got a pic of one plate because T started devouring it before I could snap a pic 😆

Their boards today have:
🍓🫐 🍌
strawberries
raspberries 
blueberries 
bananas
satsuma mandarins
clementines
blackberries
blood oranges
yogurt
blueberry waffles 

I give them a fork and a spoon - the yogurt can be used for dipping or just eaten as yogurt.
