Peanut Butter-Banana-Carob Milkshake image

This is submitted in response to a request for recipes using carob. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like a healthy and caffeine-free alternative to the traditional chocolate shake! Okay, mostly healthy! I got it from Vegweb. I'm sure you could substitute cocoa for the carob if you so desire!

Time 5m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 banana
1/2 cup light vanilla soymilk (I like VitaSoy)
2 tablespoons carob powder or 2 tablespoons carob chips
1 1/2 teaspoons peanut butter (or soy nut butter)
sugar or sugar substitute (About 1 Tbsp. or to taste-only needed if using carob powder)
6 -8 ice cubes
1 dash cinnamon

Steps:

  • If using carob chips, place the peanut butter and chips in the microwave-safe bowl and microwave on HIGH for about 7-10 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and pourable.
  • Spoon into blender along with banana, soy milk, and ice cubes.
  • If using carob powder, combine in blender along with banana, soy milk, peanut butter, sugar, and ice cubes.
  • For both: Blend until smooth.
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon to taste.
