Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie
This is a creamy, chocolatey, peanut-flavored smoothie packed with protein that is also low in fat. If you want more fat, feel free to use full-fat peanut butter and heavy cream or coconut cream in this.
Servings: 1
Calories: 376kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese 4%
- 1/2 cup egg whites from box (I prefer to use boxed so I am not tossing egg yolks)
- 1/2 cup almond milk or cashew milk unsweetened
- 1 cup spinach
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons defatted peanut powder
- 1/2 teaspoon stevia and more to taste
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a high power blender and blend until completely smooth.
Notes
You can omit the spinach here, which adds some nutrients. However, like peanut and chocolate, it is high in oxalates so feel free to adjust as desired.

How about NO to the spinach?
Let’s use some lettuce instead.
Spinach is SUPER high in oxalates.

I agree that spinach is high in oxalates, which is why there is a note about it and nutrition listed for leaving it out, should you choose to. Peanuts are also very high in oxalates as is chocolate. If you are avoiding oxalate, better to use a different smoothie altogether, such as this one or this one. Likewise, avoiding almond milk can help as it also contains significant levels. Same goes for stevia – it does contain a fair bit of oxalate per volume/weight so better to use a monk fruit sweetener if you’re watching your intake. Everyone’s threshold is a bit different so it is good to have options. Glad that you are aware of some of the anti-nutrients and know what does and doesn’t work for you!
