Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (with at least partially brown peels)
  • 3 tbsp peanut butter (or allergy-friendly substitute) (45g)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (20g)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp chocolate protein powder (optional)

Additional Mix-ins

  • 1 brownie recipe (prepared and cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • Optional garnishes: chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bananas: Ensure the bananas are ripe with at least partially brown peels for optimal sweetness. Peel the bananas and freeze them; this can be done days or even months ahead for convenience.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Combine the frozen bananas, peanut butter, cocoa powder, salt, and optional chocolate protein powder in a blender, food processor, or Vitamix. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Brownie Pieces: Stir in bite-sized pieces of prepared brownies into the blended mixture to add texture and enhance the chocolate flavor.
  4. Optional Garnishing: Garnish with chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, or any favorite toppings to personalize the Blizzard.
  5. Serve: Spoon the Chocolate Brownie Blizzard into serving dishes and enjoy immediately as a refreshing, healthy dessert or snack.

Notes

  • Use ripe frozen bananas for natural sweetness and creamy texture.
  • Peanut butter can be substituted with any allergy-friendly nut or seed butter.
  • Adding chocolate protein powder boosts protein content but is optional.
  • The brownie pieces can be from any homemade or store-bought recipe, cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • For a vegan version, ensure protein powder and brownies are vegan-friendly, and skip whipped cream or use a vegan alternative.
  • Freeze bananas well in advance to save time during preparation.
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes plus freezing time
  • Cook Time: Varies depending on brownie preparation (typically 20-30 minutes)
