Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener to taste
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: milk, peanut butter, cocoa powder, honey, and ice cubes (if using).
- Select a blender or large mixing container that can accommodate all ingredients comfortably.
- Pour the milk into the blender or container first to prevent ingredients from sticking to the bottom.
- Add the peanut butter to the milk, ensuring it is at room temperature for easier blending.
- Measure and add cocoa powder, sifting it to prevent clumping and ensure smooth incorporation.
- Pour honey or preferred sweetener into the mixture, adjusting quantity based on personal taste preference.
- If using a blender, blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
- If using a whisk or manual mixing, vigorously stir for 1-2 minutes to ensure thorough integration of ingredients.
- Optional: Add 2-3 ice cubes if a chilled drink is desired, blending briefly or stirring to cool.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more honey or milk as needed.
- Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately for optimal flavor and temperature.
Tips
- Ingredient Prep: Make sure your peanut butter is at room temperature for easier blending. If you prefer a smoother texture, opt for creamy peanut butter over crunchy.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the honey or sweetener to your liking. Start with a tablespoon and add more if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Blender vs. Manual Mixing: Using a blender will give you a smoother consistency, but if you don’t have one, a whisk or a sturdy fork can do the trick—just mix vigorously!
- Chill It Down: For a refreshing twist, don’t forget to add ice cubes before blending. This will give your drink an extra chill factor, perfect for hot days!
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to customize your drink by adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract for an extra flavor boost.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve in a tall glass and top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for a fancy touch that impresses!
