Salted Caramel Peanut Smoothie

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This vegan salted caramel peanut smoothie is divinely sweet, creamy, nutty, nourishing, and caramel-kissed. It garners its caramel notes from Medjool dates, which weave their natural sweetness throughout each and every drop. A pinch of mineral-rich sea salt draws out the dates' full potential, unveiling the depths of both their sweetness and rich caramel flavor, while roasted peanuts lend a creamy, soothing quality to this dreamy smoothie.

This dreamy salted caramel peanut smoothie is a riff on this equally luxurious smoothie. It may sound and taste like dessert, but it offers a nourishing boost of trace minerals, protein, and fiber.

This peanutty smoothie garners its caramel notes from gooey Medjool dates, which weave their natural sweetness throughout each and every drop. A pinch of mineral-rich sea salt draws out the dates' full flavor potential, unveiling the depths of both their sweetness and natural caramel flavor.

Roasted peanuts lends a creamy, soothing quality to this smoothie, bringing a warm, nutty glow to its surface.

But again, while this smoothie tastes like a dreamily decadent dessert, don't underestimate its power to nourish and satisfy.

It offers a generous dose of healthy fats, potassium, fiber, folate, vitamin e, copper, and manganese.

Plus, it’s naturally sweetened, offers a nudge of plant-based protein, and has the most delightful nuttiness.

So whether you call it dessert or you call it breakfast, one thing’s for certain: it’s a surefire way to perk up any moment of the day.

Salted Caramel Peanut Smoothie

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup raw shelled peanuts*
  • 1 ripe and speckled banana, peeled, sliced, and frozen
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 to 3 soft Medjool dates, pitted* *
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon Pink Himalayan sea salt
  • ½ to ¾ cup ice (optional, to cool and soften the flavors)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F and spread the peanuts evenly in a small baking tray. Bake for 5 minutes, or until they're wafting a warm toasted scent.
  • Add the roasted peanuts, frozen banana, Almondmilk, dates, vanilla, and sea salt to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes, or until completely smooth and creamy.
  • Taste and if desired, add the ice (to cool and thin the smoothie), and blend for another 30 to 45 seconds.
  • Pour into a glass (or two).
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

*In a pinch, you can use pre-roasted peanuts, but you'll get a much richer toasted flavor if you roast the peanuts yourself. **If your dates are firm (as opposed to soft and gooey) and/or you don't have a high-powered blender, soak them in hot water for 15 minutes before blending.

    I am so excited to see this post! I have made your" toasted hazelnut salted caramel smoothie" religiously every week for a long time. I love that it is simple but full of flavor....so good that I have asked myself a few times "can this really be good for me?" Now I have another option to mix in. I'm interested to see how different it will be with toasted peanuts. Thank you!

    Wow. This smoothie is so good! I added a handful of spinach, and it still tasted great - it really has the essence of salted caramel.
