Homemade Peanut Butter Moo'd: Jamba Juice's famous peanut butter smoothie made at home

There are three things I adore about this Jamba Juice Smoothie recipe: 1) it tastes just like their Peanut Butter Moo'd, which is obviously the best smoothie in the world, 2) it only has 3 ingredients, and 3) none of those ingredients include ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Bam.

BAM. Best. smoothie. recipe. ever!

I grew up in North Carolina, and we didn't have any smoothie chains at all. The first time I tried a smoothie was in college, at the Jamba Juice on campus.

Peanut Butter Moo'd was the most decadent looking thing on the menu, so of course it's what attracted my immediate attention. I drank 2 smoothies every day my entire freshman year.

Obviously, a serious weight gain was imminent since Jamba Juice uses chocolate frozen yogurt in their chocolate smoothies. I'll tell you how to make these smoothies just like they do (did I mention my husband worked at Jamba Juice after high school??), but I'm also going to tell you how to make these just as yummy without the froyo, using frozen bananas instead! You can also sub in chocolate almond milk for the chocolate milk to make it even healthier.

I mean, I know you're not really supposed to say stuff like this ("best," "ever," etc..) But, whatever. If you have a taste for chocolate, bananas, and peanut butter at all, you're going to fall head over heels for this smoothie. It really is the best smoothie of all time in my book!

Ingredients

  • 1 large bananas, frozen and cut into 1" sections
  • 1 cup chocolate milk
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter

Directions

  1. Blend the frozen banana, chocolate milk, and cream peanut butter for 30 seconds or until smooth.
  2. Use a single serve blending cup if possible. If not, use a mason jar and any standard blender base! Or simply use your normal blender and pitcher, but double the servings.

Notes

If you want to make this smoothie just like they make it at Jamba Juice, simply use a normal banana (not frozen) and add 2 large scoops of chocolate frozen yogurt (about 3/4 cup). Otherwise, the other ingredients and directions stay the same!
