Chocolate Brownie Batter Smoothie

Rich, creamy, and dairy-free — a chocolate brownie batter smoothie that tastes like dessert and takes just minutes to make.

Chocolate Brownie Batter Smoothie

This smoothie is my go-to when those gotta-have-chocolate moments hit. It’s thick, velvety, and tastes like brownie batter from the bowl — without the mess.

Made with simple pantry staples like cocoa, frozen banana, dates, and a splash of plant-based milk, it blends up into chocolate bliss in minutes.

I started experimenting with chocolate smoothies years ago when I was making lots of homemade treats, and this version has stood the test of time. It’s quick, flexible, and always hits the spot — whether you enjoy it as a cozy afternoon pick-me-up or a satisfying dessert-style drink.

Making your smoothie 

I always keep the frozen ingredients pre-cut in the freezer so it comes together fast. It’s also quite versatile; you can swap or adjust ingredients to your liking. Flax for hemp seeds, more or less cocoa, maple syrup for dates, almonds for oats, etc. 

If you’re new to this, I suggest starting out with the recipe as is and experimenting from there.

Flavorful twists 

Do you like Mexican chocolate? Add a touch of cinnamon. Or perhaps a little cayenne for that spicy-sweet kick. I also love throwing in a few strawberries for a chocolate-strawberry twist.

Top with a dollop of creamy almond or peanut butter, or even homemade nut butter, for a chocolaty peanut buttery twist.

For a delicious green smoothie option, try adding in a handful of fresh spinach — you’ll never even know it’s there.

Notes

  1. Raw cacao powder has a more intense and bitter flavor yet offers more health benefits. Regular cocoa has a milder taste, so the flavor will be slightly different.
  2. You can substitute the measurement one for one; though, depending on your preference, you can adjust.
  3. Sub maple syrup for Medjool dates if you prefer. Start with 1 tablespoon and increase to 2 if you prefer it sweeter. Adjust to your preference.
  4. Keep ripe peeled bananas and pitted ripe avocados in airtight containers or bags in the freezer. They provide a creaminess that’s hard to beat.
