LOVE this recipe! I like to make mine with 1/3 cup of oatmeal to give it texture and protein. Add a few coffee beans to make a mocha-choco-peanut wake-up smoothie. Yummm!!! Thanks for submitting this recipe!:)

I did not make any changes to the recipe although I did use approximate measurements for the ice and peanut butter. I found that the smoothie was chunky and wouldn't blend together no matter what. The smoothie was tasteless as well and had an extremely bitter chocolate flavor.

This was yummy. The flavor reminded me of a peanut butter cup. The texture though was a little icy. I have an almost similar recipe I found on Pinterest using whole milk regular sugar and non-fat dry milk powder. I actually like this one better made lighter and with the peanut butter. I did make a few small changes. I halved the recipe and got 1 large serving. I do not care for whey protein powder in any flavor so I subbed vanilla slim fast powder. It is a little sweeter. I added the optional Stevia and didn't bother with the 1 Tblsp of heavy cream because I didn't have it. That small amount in any smoothie or drink is barely detectable anyhow from my experience.

I printed this recipe yesterday stopped at the grocery store to get a few ingredients in the POURING rain----it was sooooo worth it!!! I made the smoothies as soon as I got home!!! I used unsweetened almond vanilla milk and left out the vanilla extract. My girls and I found this recipe to be filling and they were up early this morning putting their own spin on it-like adding half a banana! I started a high protein low-carb lifestyle 2 years ago. I'm thankful to have come across this recipe for a low-carb smoothie that tastes great and my family enjoys as much as I do!

I found a quick and easy way to do this. I used a Milk Chocolate flavored Atkins drink in place of the milk and cocoa powder and it was fantastic! I didn't have heavy cream so I used lite cool whip. I will try the heavy cream next time though 'cause I picked some up today! (I also forgot the vanilla - didn't matter was still delicious!)

Freaking delicious!!! I did make two small changes i used chocolate protien powder instead of vanilla and i didnt have cocoa powder so i used one tbls of sugar free chocolate syrup instead. It was so good i had my bf try it just for kicks and he ate half of the batch!!! This is going to be my new low carb breakfast!!!

Average. The PB taste was very subtle. I prefer my shakes a bit creamier- next time I will had half a banana per serving. I did sub greek yogurt for the heavy cream and omitted the stevia as my protein powder has stevia in it already.

This was icy and refreshing. I skipped the protein powder used sugar free French Vanilla creamer instead of heavy cream and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I will make again.

This is great! So refreshing. I only have sweetened vanilla almond milk so I didn't use the sugar or vanilla. I used french vanilla coffee creamer for the heavy cream. I added a frozen banana and just eyeballed the peanut butter since I don't like it heavily pb ery. Thanks for the recipe!
