For a richer chocolate flavor, add a few drops of chocolate extract. If you don't have whey protein powder, you can substitute with 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein. To make this smoothie vegan, use a plant-based protein powder and substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or cashew cream. Adjust the amount of ice to achieve your desired consistency. More ice will result in a thicker smoothie. For a peanut-free version, substitute the peanut butter with almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or tahini. Dutch-processed cocoa powder will give a richer, less bitter chocolate flavor.
