Method
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
- Peel and slice the bananas into chunks, then freeze them for at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove the filling from the Oreo cookies (or your preferred chocolate cream cookies) to avoid extra sweetness and calories.
Step 2: Add the Bananas and Almond Milk
- Place the frozen banana chunks and 1 1/2 cups of almond milk into the blender. The frozen bananas create the thick, creamy texture that makes this shake feel indulgent.
Step 3: Incorporate the Peanut Butter and Honey
- Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter and 1 1/2 tablespoons of honey. These add sweetness and protein, making the shake satisfying and flavorful.
Step 4: Add Cocoa Powder and Cookies
- Sprinkle in 1 1/2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for that rich chocolate taste. Then, add the 3 Oreo cookies with fillings removed to maintain a balanced sweetness and to introduce the iconic cookies and cream flavor.
Step 5: Blend Until Smooth
- Blend everything on high speed until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all the cookies and peanut butter are fully incorporated.
Step 6: Adjust Sweetness and Texture
- Taste the shake and add more honey if you prefer it sweeter. If the shake is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 7: Serve Immediately
- Pour the shake into your favorite glass. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a mini cookie on top. Enjoy immediately for the freshest taste and best texture.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and creaminess.
- Removing cookie filling reduces extra sugar and keeps the shake balanced.
- Freeze the peanut butter or add ice cubes for a thicker shake.
- Any plant-based milk or dairy milk can be substituted for almond milk.
- Blend in stages to avoid overloading the blender and achieve the best texture.
