Chocolate Peanutbutter(less) Smoothie

Sometimes you feel like a nut...sometimes you don't. Enhancing this recipe with a drop or two of my favorite Medicine Flower flavor extracts, makes all the difference in the world. Create a "peanut" smoothie without the nuts!!! When I'm in the mood for something different, I'm just so grateful for the amazing concentrated flavors created by Medicine Flower.


Chocolate Peanutbutter(less) Smoothie
1 Young Thai Coconut, water and meat (you can use a nut milk base if you prefer)
5-6 large kale leaves (or equivalent your fav greens)
2 frozen bananas
3 Tablespoons **cacao powder
1 1/2 Tablespoons hemp seed
1 1/2 Tablespoons chia seed
2 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
2 drops *Medicine Flower Dark Chocolate Extract
2 drops Medicine Flower Peanut Extract
Water as needed
ice cubes

Directions:
Blend coconut water and meat.
Add greens and frozen bananas.
Blend in cacao powder, seeds and dates and add extract flavors (or add your favorite extracts)
Add water as need to desired consistency and blend in a few ice cubes to thicken and chill.

I adore your first sentence! Just so true.

I also adore the way that MF extracts can be so intense in flavor, you can basically make a meal out of something with hardly any calories taste satisfying and flavorful.

I can't do bananas right now, and don't have access to young cocos here (although I can buy frozen young coco meat, but it does have some added sugar I'm not a fan of)--so I'd use irish moss gel instead of the bananas.

I'm going to have to get me some peanut extract--I'm love-hate with peanuts anyway: sometimes I love their taste, but I generally find them so "dry"--even in smoothies they sometimes strike me that way. I never eat them except in smoothies, and almost never then, but I could imagine getting really into pb-flavored smoothies with none of the attendant peanut texture.

love
