My husband was working on a friends' car recently and it was a relatively nice day here in Orlando. I figured it would be nice to surprise him with a nice cold glass of something. I decided, since I had so much peanut butter (from couponing) that I would whip up some peanut punch with a twist.
For vegetarians, you get protein and vitamins from having a glass of peanut punch. It contains about 25 % protein, calcium, niacin, folate, fiber and vitamin E just to name a few. It is great for energy instead of caffeine filled energy drinks. To my recipe, you can add a banana and even top it with granola!
Ingredients.
3 cups Cold Vanilla Almond Milk (love the dept of using the Almond flavors)
1/2 cup Favorite Peanut Butter. (I used Honey Roasted)
5 tsp Cocoa Powder (please the unsweetened cocoa, not cocoa mix for hot chocolates)
4 tbsp Sugar (I used granulated cane sugar)
1/4 tsp Vanilla Essence
pinch Cinnamon
5 oz Ice (optional)
Method
1. Place all ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth. Taste for sugar and adjust if you think its necessary. (I did not make it a sweet dish, just enough to make the cocoa powder taste good).
2. Optional: You can add ice and continue to blend for an icy treat!
