A delicious and healthy take on the classic Chocolate Brownie Blizzard, featuring a creamy banana and peanut butter base blended with cocoa powder and optional chocolate protein powder, enhanced by bite-sized brownie pieces for a decadent treat that’s both nutritious and satisfying.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (peels at least partially brown, frozen)
  • 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)

Brownies

  • Prepared brownie recipe or store-bought brownies, cut into bite-sized pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bananas: Ensure the bananas are ripe with partially brown peels. Peel them and place in the freezer until fully frozen. This can be done days or even months ahead for convenience.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, food processor, or Vitamix, combine the frozen bananas, peanut butter, cocoa powder, salt, and optional chocolate protein powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Brownie Pieces: Stir in bite-sized pieces of brownies into the blended mixture to add texture and enhance the chocolate flavor.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Optionally, garnish with chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, or any toppings of your choice before serving immediately for a delightful frozen dessert.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess.
  • Freezing bananas well in advance makes preparation quick and easy.
  • The peanut butter can be substituted with allergy-friendly alternatives like almond butter or sunflower seed butter as needed.
  • Adding chocolate protein powder is optional but boosts the protein content.
  • Store leftover brownie blizzard in the freezer, stirring well before serving again.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using gluten-free brownies.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes (plus freezing time for bananas)
