Chocolate-Peanut Butter Smoothie

Thick and creamy, this chocolate-peanut butter smoothie from Hawaiian chef Brandon Baptiste may be easy to make, but the result is wonderfully complex.

Cacao nibs — crushed, roasted cocoa beans — give this smoothie an extra rich chocolate flavor and adds a bit of chocolate-chip-like texture (without the added sugar). Although cacao nibs may sound like a specialty item, they’re commonly available at Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Target and other chain grocery stores.
