High-Calorie Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

Instructions

1. Gear Up for Gains: Grab your blender, a measuring cup, a spoon, and a tall glass—this smoothie’s about to become your post-workout BFF! Let’s get everything ready to blend up some high-calorie deliciousness that’ll fuel your bulking goals in no time flat.
2. Prep the Banana: If your banana isn’t frozen yet, peel it and break it into chunks—frozen is best for that thick, frosty vibe, so plan ahead next time! Toss it into the blender first—it’s your sweet, carb-packed base that’s going to make this smoothie a recovery star.
3. Scoop in the Yogurt: Measure out ¾ cup of full-fat Greek yogurt and add it to the blender. Spoon it in with a big grin—this creamy, protein-rich goodness is here to rebuild those muscles you just worked so hard to tear down in the gym!
4. Add the Peanut Butter Power: Plop 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter into the mix. Use a spoon to scoop it out—those rich, nutty fats are going to boost the calorie count and keep you satisfied while adding a flavor you can’t resist!
5. Toss in the Oats: Measure ¼ cup of rolled oats and sprinkle them into the blender. These little guys are your secret weapon for extra carbs and fiber—blend them up well, and they’ll disappear into a smooth, hearty texture that’s perfect for bulking fuel!
6. Chocolate It Up: Add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the blender—it’s time to turn this into a chocolate lover’s dream! Shake it in evenly, letting that deep, rich flavor get ready to mingle with the peanut butter for a combo that’s pure post-workout heaven.
7. Pour the Milk Base: Pour 1 cup of whole milk over everything—go slow at first, letting it soak into the dry ingredients. This is what’s going to blend it all together into a creamy, sip-able shake—whole milk keeps the calories high and the texture luscious!
8. Sweeten (If You Want): Drizzle in 1 teaspoon of honey if you like a touch more sweetness—totally optional since the banana’s already doing its thing! Give it a quick taste later and adjust, but this little boost can make your smoothie feel like a reward after those heavy lifts.
9. Blend to Smooth Perfection: Secure the blender lid and start blending on low, then crank it up to high for 30-60 seconds. Watch it whirl into a thick, chocolatey masterpiece—blend until it’s smooth and creamy, with no chunks left behind. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again!
10. Sip and Recover Like a Champ: Pour your smoothie into a tall glass—chill it in the fridge for a minute if you love it cold—and take a big sip. Savor the rich peanut butter, chocolate, and creamy vibes as it refuels your body. This is bulking fuel at its finest—enjoy every muscle-building drop!
