Peanut Butter Powder Chocolate Protein Smoothie

This peanut butter powder chocolate protein smoothie is a simple and luscious way to get a nice amount of protein in your diet. You won’t know that it’s made with healthy ingredients because it tastes so decadent and delicious!

Are you a smoothie fan?

Smoothies are my favorite way of getting a good amount of protein in my diet.

The same goes for my whole family. My kids love all kinds of smoothies.

I seriously bought each of them their own personal blender so they can make a smoothie anytime they want.

It’s funny to have the blenders lined up when they are not in use. We all have different brands and colors. My daughter Tori’s (for when she visits) my son Josh’s portable blender and mine. There are so many to choose from on Amazon.

The hubby doesn’t have one since he wouldn’t even know how to use one. LOL! I make him a smoothie with my mini blender.

This is his favorite smoothie up to date.

On to this delicious smoothie…

I recently discovered peanut butter powder. There are so many brands that I found in my local grocery store and online.

On top of being super delicious in recipes, it cuts the calories and fat by a really big amount.

I’m following one of the WW plans and this smoothie is so much less caloric and so much lower in fat as well as sugars than using peanut butter.

Don’t get me wrong, I love peanut butter a lot. I enjoy a PB sandwich once in a while but in a smoothie peanut butter powder is the best.

Here is the PB Powder that I use and that was calculated in this smoothie for the nutritional count and WW Points.

Just a  note, I used a vanilla whey protein powder. I didn’t list the one I used since I switch around when making my smoothies.

Sometimes I use a vegan protein powder, pea protein, brown rice. It depends on my mood.

My favorite is the whey protein powder like I used in this smoothie.

But, I will tell you that all the protein powders I do use all have around 120 calories per serving with low carbs and low sugar content as well a nice amount of protein.

 I use Quest Vanilla Milkshake or Quest Chocolate Milkshake  Vanilla has 24 grams of protein and chocolate has 22 grams of protein. I really think it’s the best tasting whey/casein protein powders and I have tried so many of them. Even the really expensive ones. Quest has the best flavors and made with natural flavoring.

Vanilla or chocolate both work in this smoothie, it just depends if you want a more chocolatey flavor. Also, I just started adding in about 2 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and leaving in the chocolate syrup or taking it out since the cocoa powder gives this a really chocolatey flavor. Make it a little different each time for a nice variety.

Even though this smoothie is made with healthy ingredients, it’s so decadent tasting.

Whirl one up for yourself. Sit down, relax and enjoy every last sip.
