Smoothie King Peanut Power Plus Chocolate

Want to make the Smoothie King Peanut Power Plus™ Chocolate at home? This homemade copycat recipe uses easy ingredients you can find anywhere and tastes just like the store version. It’s simple, rich, chocolatey, and protein-packed—perfect for strength and recovery.

How I Figured Out This Recipe

I tried making it once, but it didn’t have that thick, nutty-chocolate depth. I figured out the bakery-style flavor comes from a balance of bananas, dates, peanut butter, milk, protein powder, and cocoa. Tasting tips from smoothie fans helped me dial in the sweetness and texture just right—trust me, your blender game will thank you.

Peanut Power Plus Chocolate Ingredients

• 1 medium banana (ripe or frozen): gives natural sweetness and creamy base
• ½ cup nonfat milk (dairy or almond): keeps it silky and blends well
• ¼ cup natural peanut butter: delivers rich peanut flavor
• 4 pitted dates: add natural sweetness & smooth texture
• 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder: packs protein and depth
• 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (or cacao): deepens chocolate taste
• 1 cup ice: makes it cold and thick

How to Make Peanut Power Plus Chocolate (Copycat)

1. Put banana, peanut butter, dates into your blender.
2. Add milk, protein powder, cocoa powder, and ice.
3. Blend on low first, then high until smooth and thick.
4. Taste and fix: Too thick? Add splash of milk. Not sweet? Add another date. Want deeper chocolate taste? Add more cocoa.

Why This Tastes Like the Smoothie King Version

• Bananas and dates bring creamy texture and natural sweetness.
• Peanut butter and cocoa powder deliver that rich, nutty-chocolate flavor.
• Protein powder and milk mimic their protein blend and texture.
• Ice gives it that cold, smoothie-shop consistency.

Easy Tips and Swaps

• Vegan? Use almond milk and plant-based protein.
• More fiber? Add a spoonful of oats, chia, or flax.
• No cocoa? Swap with strawberries for a fruity twist.
• Extra healthy fats? Stir in hemp seeds or almond butter.

How to Store Your Smoothie

• In the Fridge: Store in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking—it may settle or thicken.
• In the Freezer: Freeze in ice-cube trays. Blend frozen cubes with a splash of milk for a chilled, thick treat.

FAQs
