This Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake is so good, it should be forbidden. You only need 5 ingredients, a blender, and 5 minutes. This is the perfect treat for hot summer days!
This Salted Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake is a lifesaver on hot summer days. Sometimes I am just not in the mood to cook and just make this shake instead. It's SO creamy, chocolatey, desserty!
For this shake, I am using frozen bananas and oat milk for a creamy base. It tastes like an ice cream shake without using ice cream! It's magic!
I've also added lots of dutch-processed cocoa powder to make it super chocolatey. I mean I love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, but adding salt brings out the flavors even more.
Why I LOVE this shake (and so will you):
- no dairy! It's vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free (because it's only sweetened with the bananas)
- SO thick & creamy! It's more like an ice cream shake without the ice cream!
- the frozen bananas make it a refreshing treat for the summer!
- ready in 5 minutes! Pro-tip: ALWAYS have banana chunks in the freezer for emergency milkshakes or nice cream.
- toss all the ingredients for the shake in a blender and DONE. Easy as that!
- You don't need a high-speed blender for this shake. I am using a simple 60$-blender and it works perfectly!

We didn’t have cocoa powder, so I subbed an equivalent amount of real chocolate chips, which tasted delish and gave it an interesting speckled appearance, plus a shot of Kahlua, which amped up the decadence level nicely. Easy-pleasey desert bevy.
