Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

This smoothie was inspired by a recipe from my FASTer Way to Fat Loss VIP meal guides, which are created weekly by their team of Registered Dietitians. As a FASTer Way coach, I love pulling ideas from both the regular and vegan meal plans, and then adding my own twist to create quick, high-protein meals that keep me and my family energized and satisfied.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Ingredients

Ingredient Notes

  • Frozen cauliflower rice – You can’t taste the cauliflower rice in this recipe! I love adding cauliflower rice to my smoothies to add fiber, micronutrients, and help balance blood sugar.
  • Chocolate protein powder – I use this 3-ingredient clean, plant-based protein powder from Be Well by Kelly. You can use my code: SUPERMOMEATS for 15% off your order.
  • Coconut cream – I use full-fat coconut cream. You can also use coconut milk.

Additions & Substitutions

  • Peanut Butter: Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter if needed.
  • Coconut Cream: Swap coconut cream with full-fat coconut milk or even Greek yogurt if you’re not vegan or dairy-free.
  • Chia Seeds: You can add chia seeds for some extra fiber and omega-3s!
  • Cacao Powder: Optionally add 1 tablespoon of cacao powder. I love Navitas Organics cacao powder.
  • Chopped Dark Chocolate: I love topping my chocolate peanut butter smoothie with some chopped dark chocolate!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh cauliflower rice instead of frozen?

No! Frozen cauliflower helps make the smoothie cold, and it also helps give it a creamy texture.

Is this smoothie good for post-workout?

Absolutely! With protein, carbs, fiber, and healthy fats, it’s a perfect post-FASTer Way workout option, especially on our Low Carb Days! This smoothie would be great after any workout (not just FASTer Way!). Another great option is to go on a walk after drinking this smoothie to help with blood sugar balance (this is great to do after any meal!).

What’s the best protein powder for this recipe?

I love Be Well by Kelly’s plant-based chocolate protein powder because it has just 3 clean ingredients, 21 grams of protein, 9 grams of fiber, and 1 gram of net carbs. But any clean chocolate protein will work—just check the label to make sure there are no added sugars or fillers. If you’re interested in trying the one I use for this recipe, you can use my discount code: SUPERMOMEATS to get 15% off your order.

Will I be able to taste the cauliflower rice?

No! I was so skeptical of putting cauliflower in my smoothie, but I’ve been adding it to almost all of my smoothies for about a year now, and you actually can’t taste it! It helps give the smoothie a creamy texture, makes it cold, and adds micronutrients and fiber to the meal. I encourage you to give it a try!
