Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie #KraftPeanutBetterIt
I am not a breakfast person at all and I’m starting to notice that my kids don’t like it either – they always complain about sore tummies after. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to let my oldest go to school without having something to fill him up. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Smoothies are the perfect thing for tricking your mind into getting the fuel that it needs to stay energized until snack or break time comes around. You can add just about anything to a smoothie and take it with you, making it the ideal get-up- and-go breakfast choice; they’re quick, easy and kids love them - at least I know mine do.
The first time I ever made my Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie I just used Kraft Peanut Butter with Chocolate. Now that I’ve discovered Kraft Peanut Butter with Chocolate, I decided to enhance the chocolate-y flavour, which gives me bonus points with the little ones.
Ingredients
• ¼ cup water
• 1 tablespoon chia seed
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 frozen banana
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Kraft Peanut Butter with Chocolate
Directions
1. Soak chia seeds in water for 10 minutes.
2. Place all ingredients and chia seeds with remaining water in blender. Blend on medium speed for 2 minutes and high for 1 minute or until desired consistency.
3. Serve immediately.
These Banana Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothies are so delish that my kids don’t realize the almond milk, chia seeds, banana and Kraft Peanut Butter with Chocolate are packed with so much protein they’re actually having a breakfast that’s good for them. All their minds can register that early in the morning is “Mmm…chocolate!” and who can blame them?
Kraft Peanut Butter is so much more than just a spread for your toast. Did you know that in just one jar there are endless possibilities for inspirational and tasty recipes? It’s true, it can be used as a dip for your fruit, a flavourful cooking or baking ingredient and as you can see from my recipe – an upgrade for smoothies.

I had no idea there was chocolate peanut butter! Leave it to Kraft. Gonna check for it next grocery shop.
Amanda Komoski
I know, right? KRAFT is very innovative and their products are so yummy!
Victoria Ess
This sounds really good! I make something similar but have never tried chocolate peanut butter.
Amanda Komoski
Neither I had I until I found it in the store. You should swap out whatever it is that you use for the Kraft Chocolate Peanut Butter, you’ll love it!
kathy downey
Are you serious….Chocolate peanut butter,i have to have it.
Cheryl Grandy
Smoothies are great for a healthy breakfast. You can hide all kinds of healthy things in them. I love chocolate, so Kraft Chocolate Peanut Butter would be a wonderful way to add protein and good taste to a smoothie (any time of day).
Amanda
Agreed!
Nikki from Tikkido
Chocolate peanut butter sounds like pretty much the best invention ever. 😉 I’ll definitely have to check it out.
paula schuck
What the what?? There’s a chocolate peanut butter now? I had no idea. I am very much taking note of the Peanut butter recipes floating around right now. My younger daughter’s two favourite foods in the world are - pizza and KRAFT peanut butter. I currently have two jars of it in the pantry because I stockpile. She eats a MINIMUM of one PB sandwich a day.
Amanda
I know what you mean. My son has peanut butter toast EVERY morning and EEK I’m all out for tomorrow. I may be in trouble…
Jody D
Always a great combo! Somebody sure looks like he is enjoying it!
Amanda
Haha he loved it!
Olivia
What a great idea! I rarely ever eat breakfast (I know, I know), but that smoothie would convince me to eat breakfast every day!
Amanda Komoski
You and me both Olivia. I’m so busy getting the kids to eat that I often forget about myself…
Elizabeth Matthiesen
Actually I’m not surprised that I didn’t know that they now make a chocolate peanut butter, that’s because I’m one of only a very few it seems who don’t like peanut butter in the first place.
Amanda
My mom is also not much of a peanut butter fan Elizabeth but she does love this smoothie 😉
robin masshole mommy
That smoothie sounds so good. This is my favorite flavor combination, too! I need to make one soon 🙂

I have heard of chocolate peanut butter but not this particular brand. We will have to try that. My kids will love it!
Amanda Komoski
Kraft is the ONLY brand of peanut butter I will eat and it’s been that way ever since I was a kid.

This looks so decadent! I love smoothies in the morning, it’s the perfect go-to breakfast for busy moms. It’s great because you can do a lot of combinations as well. I love the idea of adding peanut butter.
Amanda Komoski
I love experimenting with different flavours in my smoothies and the added protein when using peanut butter is HUGE plus.
Maria
Just my youngest like peanut butter, but he hasn’t yet tried PB with chocolate… I’m almost afraid to let him try, he will want to eat the whole thing with a spoon!
Amanda Komoski
Confession time…I almost did eat it with a spoon last night!
Liz Mays
Oh yum! I could use a flavorful smoothie like this. I have to try that chocolate peanut butter!
adriana
This looks SO GOOD! I love trying new smoothies (they’re my favorite!) and adding chocolate?! You have me there haha!

Haha…yup chocolate is my weakness, for sure.

I didn’t know Kraft had a product like that, nice! I’m always eager for every breakfast opportunity and this smoothie might just be added to one of my regular options.

My goodness, this is such a wonderful combination that looks delicious & so easy to do as well. A healthy smoothie like this would be a good breakfast idea for my kids anytime.
Amanda
Best part is they can’t see past the chocolate and think their getting away with having something bad for breakfast.
Holly @ Woman Tribune
This looks like the perfect solution to a wholesome breakfast for someone who hates eating breakfast. Who can say no to chocolate, banana, and peanut butter… and chocolate?! Mmm, chocolate.
Amanda
Haha, I like the way you think Holly!
Carole D.
That sounds interesting, I have never had a smoothies with peanut butter before!
Amanda Komoski
You don’t know what you’re missing until you do Carole! Kraft Peanut Butter has different options now, it’s easy to find the flavour you want.
BobbiJO Pentney
He really looks like he is enjoying that.
Amanda Komoski
He really was BobbiJO 🙂
Cheryl
Oh my this looks delish!! I think our kids would all love it 🙂
nicolthepickle
Oh my this looks so good. I ‘m a little sad I saw this recipe right before supper time. Now I’ll have to wait to make it.
Heidi c.
Now, this is the kind of smoothie that my picky eater would enjoy.
Debbie White Beattie
This recipe looks so good but I don’t know if I or the kids should be getting this much chocolate even though its got some healthier ingredients, maybe just for special occasions.
Amanda Komoski
That’s the great part Debbie, with only 2 tablespoons of Peanut Butter with Chocolate it’s not a lot of chocolate at all and no different than using regular Kraft Peanut Butter!
Laurie P
Finally got another Jar of this stuff! I barely got any of the first one I bought, the guys devoured it!
kristen visser
