“This Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie recipe is a favorite of mine”
Respectfully, since there is no peanut butter anywhere in the recipe, unless the protein powder is from peanuts, or you substitute peanut butter for the almond butter (which is not even suggested), it should be titled Chocolate Almond Butter Smoothie. But it’s titled instead ‘Chocolate Banana Smoothie.’ Not what the e-mail is titled. What happened?
Brain fart. So sorry for the misleading information but this is, in fact, a Chocolate Banana Smoothie that you could add peanut butter to in place of the almond butter. My apologies for making you click due to my error.
