It’s true you won’t see a lot of peanut butter around here (on my website and in my recipes) – I prefer almond butter for many reasons. However, I had some organic all-natural PB kicking around and, after a conversation with another runner about attempting to mimic a certain cafe’s peanut butter chocolate shake, I knew exactly what I had to do with it.
Success! Thick and creamy with the taste of chocolate and peanut butter – serious yum.
