Description

A healthy, decadent chocolate brownie Blizzard made with ripe frozen bananas, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and optional chocolate protein powder. This creamy treat blends ripe bananas with rich chocolate flavors to create a guilt-free dessert that can be topped with bite-sized brownie pieces or other chocolate garnishes for added indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Blizzard Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (peels at least partially brown, peeled and frozen)
  • 3 tbsp peanut butter (or allergy friendly substitute, approx. 45g)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (20g)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp chocolate protein powder (optional)

Brownie Pieces (for garnish or blending)

  • 1 brownie recipe (prepared and cut into bite-sized pieces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Frozen Bananas: Ensure that the bananas are ripe with at least partially brown peels. Peel and freeze the bananas ahead of time; freezing helps achieve the creamy texture needed for the Blizzard.
  2. Blend Blizzard Base: In a blender, food processor, or Vitamix, combine the frozen bananas, peanut butter, cocoa powder, salt, and optional chocolate protein powder. Blend until smooth and creamy, with no large chunks remaining.
  3. Add Brownie Pieces: Stir in bite-sized brownie pieces into the blended mixture or use the brownie pieces as a garnish on top for texture and extra chocolate flavor.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Optionally, garnish with additional chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, or whipped cream as desired. Serve immediately for the best creamy texture.

Notes

  • Using frozen ripe bananas is critical to achieve the thick, creamy Blizzard texture without dairy or added sugar.
  • Peanut butter can be substituted with any nut or seed butter to accommodate allergies or preferences.
  • The brownie pieces can be homemade or store-bought depending on convenience and preference.
  • For added protein, include the optional chocolate protein powder, or omit for a more natural dessert.
  • This recipe can be made in advance by freezing the blended base, then thawing slightly before serving.
  • Prep Time: 5 minutes (excluding freezing time for bananas)
  • Cook Time: 30-45 minutes (for brownie preparation if making from scratch)
