06 - ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

01 -

It tastes like dessert for breakfast, which means you'll actually look forward to mornings.
Five minutes from craving to glass, no cooking required, just blending.
Naturally creamy and filling enough to keep you satisfied for hours.

02 -

If your banana isn't ripe with brown spots, your smoothie will taste watery and bland no matter what else you add.
Peanut butter clumps are real—blend the peanut butter with a splash of milk first if you're having trouble getting it smooth.

03 -

Blend the peanut butter with a bit of milk first if your blender struggles with thick ingredients—it makes everything smoother.
If you're making this for someone else, ask if they prefer their smoothie sweet or less sweet before you blend; peanut butter masks some of the cocoa bitterness, so tastes vary.
