BARB’s (VEGAN) CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUP SMOOTHIE
This is a “Barbie” favorite! It brings me back to my childhood when I use to “gobble up” Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups by the bag at Halloween! But this peanut butter cup “delight” is much healthier!
- ¼ cup Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup
- Yes, it’s vegan, but its NOT sugar-free so you don’t need to add sweetener to this smoothie
- ¼ cup peanut butter (no-sugar added)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 cup Coconut Bliss coconut ice cream, “Vanilla Island” flavor
- 1 cup cold almond, soy, rice, or coconut milk
- ½ cup crushed ice
Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender (Vitamix) and blend for 15 – 25 seconds, or until creamy. You can adjust flavorings to taste, e.g. add more/less chocolate, PB, salt, etc.
