Why Psyllium Fiber Matters
There are many health benefits of psyllium fiber. It helps maintain digestive health, support weight management goals, and sustain healthy blood sugar levels.+ Adding Konsyl’s psyllium powder to a smoothie is a great way to get all the benefits of this amazing supplement in a tasty, convenient way.Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Ingredients
Some folks like to pump up the nutritional value of their shake by tossing in a banana. We’ve included it in our list of ingredients, but feel free to leave it out if a chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie is not to your liking:
- 1 medium banana, frozen
- 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
- 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or milk of your choice)*
- 1 teaspoon of Konsyl Daily Psyllium Fiber
- 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)
- A handful of ice cubes
*You can swap out 1 cup of vanilla yogurt for the milk for a thicker consistency.
1. Prepare Your Ingredients
Assemble your ingredients. While a frozen banana is best (it gives your smoothie a creamy texture without needing additional ice), you can use one that’s room temperature.
2. Get Out the Blender
Toss in the banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, almond milk, Konsyl Daily Psyllium Fiber, and ice cubes. If you prefer a sweeter peanut butter chocolate smoothie, add a tablespoon of organic honey or maple syrup.
3. Mix It Up
Blend all the ingredients until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. The psyllium husk will help thicken the smoothie and add a boost of fiber.
4. Serve & Enjoy
Pour the smoothie into your glass and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Variations to Try
The fabulous thing about smoothies is the variety of ingredients you can combine to make it your own. Here are some suggestions:
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie: Swap out the cocoa powder for one scoop of chocolate protein powder. This smoothie is perfect for post-workout recovery and adds a significant protein boost.
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Berry Smoothie: Add 1/2 cup of frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries). The berries add a fruity twist and extra antioxidants to your smoothie.
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie: Toss in 1/4 cup of rolled oats. This version is ideal for breakfast and adds whole grains for sustained energy.
- Mocha Peanut Butter Smoothie: Need a wake-up call? Include one shot of espresso or 1/2 cup of cold brew coffee.
