Snickers Style Peanut Butter Milkshake – The Healthy Version

January 13, 2016 · by munchiesandmunchkins · 28 Comments

I was making a really indulgent snickers style peanut butter milkshake earlier this week when I decided to try out making a healthier version because I can’t be indulgent all the time! It worked so well that I thought I would share it with you guys. It uses just 4 ingredients and is fairly frothy and delicious just as a milkshake should be but without your entire daily calorie allowance. It really helps if you have a high powered blender for this as you will need to blitz the ice cubes and also ensure the peanut butter is distributed throughout.

Snickers Style Peanut Butter Milkshake

You will  need:

1 cup of 1% milk ( or any milk you prefer )

2 heaped tbsp of good quality peanut butter

2 tsp of choc shot syrup ( I used sweet freedom which is completely fruit based and suitable for diabetics )  or a natural sweetener

1 tbsp of raw/natural cocoa ( add more cocoa if you aren’t using the chocolate sweetener)

1/2 cup of ice

*Optional -Additional chocolate syrup for decorating glass –

Blitz all ingredients in a high powered blender until frothy and smooth. Taste and add more peanut butter if required.

This whilst not tasting anywhere near as indulgent as the other milkshake was still full of flavour and frothy so I didn’t feel like I was missing out too much. I tricked myself into believing there was real chocolate in as the cocoa added that hint of flavour and the choc syrup helped too!

I will share the indulgent recipe with you later this week. Which will you choose?

    I love the freedom choc syrup too! It is so super chocolatey you’d never believe it was a healthier option. I think (for now) I’ll be sticking with this healthy version but I’ll certainly pin the more indulgent one for another day!

    This sounds sounds so indulgent! You wouldn’t be able to tell it’s healthier than your average milkshake 🙂 I love using choc shot when taking photos of desserts. It instantly makes them look so decadent 😀

    I am coming round to the idea of adding in peanut butter to everything – and yes please to this milkshake.

    I’m a sucker for indulgent, so I’d probably choose that, but I love your addition of peanut butter – what a fab idea. Thanks for joining in with #WeShouldCocoa.
