Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 6 oz vanilla yogurt (dairy free or sugar free if desired)
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder
  • 1 pinch salt

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp peanut butter (optional)
  • Sugar or sweetener of choice, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the vanilla yogurt, milk, cocoa powder, salt, peanut butter if using, and sweetener of choice into a blender.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy without any lumps.
  3. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy right away for the best taste and texture.
  4. Optional Thickening Tip: For a thicker smoothie, freeze the milk in ice cube trays ahead of time and blend the frozen milk cubes with the other ingredients using a high-speed blender.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free yogurt and milk options if you prefer a vegan or dairy-free smoothie.
  • Adjust sweetness according to your taste by adding more or less sweetener.
  • Peanut butter adds protein and a nutty flavor but can be omitted for a simpler smoothie.
  • Freezing the milk beforehand creates a thicker, creamier texture perfect for a more dessert-like smoothie.
