Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (regular or vanilla)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free or vegan)
Flavorings
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 tbsp Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (or to taste)
- 3 tbsp Dutch processed cocoa powder
- 1/8 tsp sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Gather ingredients: Collect all the ingredients needed for the smoothie to ensure everything is ready and organized for preparation.
- Measure and prepare: Measure out all ingredients precisely. Bring all components to room temperature to ensure easier blending and a smoother final texture.
- Combine in blender: Place the almond milk, heavy cream (or coconut cream), peanut butter, powdered monk fruit sweetener, Dutch processed cocoa powder, and optional sea salt into the blender jar. Starting with the liquids can help achieve a smoother blend.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high. Continue blending for 30-60 seconds or until the mixture is creamy and uniform with no visible chunks.
- Taste and adjust: Sample the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more monk fruit sweetener if desired, blending briefly after each addition. Modify consistency by adding almond milk if too thick or ice cubes if too thin, blending again to incorporate.
- Serve and enjoy: Pour the smoothie into glasses immediately. Optionally garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of melted peanut butter for extra indulgence.
Notes
- For a vegan or dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
- Adjust sweetness to your preference by adding more or less monk fruit blend.
- Using room temperature ingredients helps achieve a smoother texture.
- Garnishes like whipped cream or cocoa powder enhance presentation but are optional.
- The smoothie is best served immediately for optimal freshness and texture.
