Variations

I swap the milk for almond or oat milk when I want a dairy-free option.
I blend it with ice for a thicker, frappé-style texture.
I use flavored syrups like caramel or hazelnut for a twist.
I sometimes top it with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder.

Storage/Reheating

I make this fresh and drink it right away, but if I have leftovers, I keep them in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I shake it well before serving over fresh ice. No reheating is needed—it’s best enjoyed cold.

FAQs

Can I make this without a blender?

Yes, I use a shaker or whisk it well by hand. Softening the peanut butter helps it mix more easily.

Can I use a different sweetener?

Absolutely. I like using honey, maple syrup, or stevia depending on what I have and how sweet I want it.

What type of milk works best?

I like using whole milk for creaminess, but any milk works—almond, oat, or soy are all great options.

Can I make this drink ahead of time?

Yes, I mix everything except the ice and store it in the fridge for up to a day. I shake it before serving over ice.
