Ingredients

1 cup chocolate milk
¼ cup creamy peanut butter (or 1–2 scoops natural peanut butter)
1 large frozen banana
½ cup vanilla frozen yogurt (or vanilla ice cream)
1 cup ice cubes

Directions

Step 1: Add the Chocolate Milk

Pour the chocolate milk into your blender first. Starting with the liquid helps the blender process the frozen ingredients more easily.

Step 2: Add the Remaining Ingredients

Add the peanut butter, frozen banana, vanilla frozen yogurt, and ice cubes to the blender.

Using a frozen banana creates the thick, creamy texture that makes this smoothie taste just like the original.

Step 3: Blend Until Creamy

Begin blending on a lower speed for a few seconds.

Gradually increase to high speed and continue blending until the smoothie is smooth, thick, and creamy with no remaining chunks of banana or ice.

Step 4: Serve

Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass.

Enjoy immediately while it’s cold and frosty.

Tips for the Best Smoothie

Freeze ripe bananas. The sweeter the banana, the better the smoothie.

Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest consistency.

Add more ice if you’d like an even thicker smoothie.

For a thinner smoothie, simply add a splash of extra chocolate milk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh bananas?

Yes, but frozen bananas create the thick, creamy texture that closely resembles the Jamba Juice version. If using fresh bananas, add a little extra ice.

Can I substitute almond butter?

Absolutely! Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter all make delicious alternatives.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately after blending. If needed, store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and stir well before serving.

Can I use regular milk?

Yes! Regular milk works well, although chocolate milk provides the rich chocolate flavor that makes this smoothie taste like the original.

Storage

Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Shake or stir before drinking, as some separation may naturally occur.
