Curb your chocolate craving with a creamy vegan chocolate smoothie. All you need are five whole-food, plant-based ingredients (non-dairy milk, natural peanut butter, raw cacao powder, frozen bananas, and dates) plus a blender. Enjoy it for breakfast, a post-workout snack, or whenever you want a sweet treat.
While I often incorporate greens into my smoothies, like spinach in my pineapple green smoothie or kale in my peanut butter green smoothie, sometimes I'm in the mood for something straight-up chocolaty instead.
This vegan chocolate smoothie tastes almost decadent, and it makes a generous serving that keeps me satisfied for hours. I've even been known to split one with a friend for dessert.

Hi Amy, this was super easy to make and made for a filling, delicious breakfast. Thanks for the recipe!

Ingredients
- Non-dairy milk: I prefer unsweetened organic soy, but you can use your favorite such as almond or oat.
- Natural peanut butter: Look for peanut butter that is simply ground peanuts and salt.
- Banana: For the best results, use a ripe banana that has some spots on the peel. Peel and freeze the banana in halves or slices in advance.
Please see the recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete ingredients, measurements, and instructions.
How to make a vegan chocolate smoothie
- Add the ingredients to the blender container starting with the plant milk and ending with the frozen bananas.
- Blend until completely smooth, using the tamper to push the ingredients down towards the blades, as needed. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy immediately.

I just made this and it is and love it!!
I was attracted to this recipe b/c I make one very similar just by dumping ingredients in the blender. Measurements will be helpful when guests are over. You’ve nailed it!
I used almond butter and one date is the perfect sweetness for my palate.
Next time I may add a pinch of “Real Salt” just to bump up the flavor a bit.
