Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, a popular BlendJet smoothie recipe, is a dream come true for anyone who’s ever been tempted to indulge in just one more spoonful of cookie dough. Imagine blending the creamy richness of peanut butter with the sweet allure of chocolate chips, the smoothness of milk, and a dash of maple syrup for that authentic cookie sweetness. Add a splash of vanilla extract for that fresh-baked aroma, a sprinkle of cacao powder for depth, and a pinch of salt to enhance all the flavors, and you’ve got a smoothie that’s not just a drink, but an experience. It’s like sipping on your favorite dessert, guilt-free and utterly satisfying.
Peanut butter is a great source of protein and healthy fats, helping to keep you full and energized. The cacao powder is loaded with antioxidants and can improve heart health by increasing nitric oxide levels in the blood. Milk provides calcium for strong bones and teeth, while maple syrup offers a natural sweetness along with some trace minerals. Even the chocolate chips can contribute to your mood, thanks to the feel-good chemicals found in chocolate.

Health Benefits
Peanut Butter – Peanuts are a South American legume that are actually closely related to beans. They are loaded with high-quality plant-based protein, healthy fats, and a rich antioxidant profile that includes isoflavones, p-coumaric acid, phytic acid, and phytosterols. Peanuts have been associated with gallstone prevention, reduced risk of heart disease, and the prevention of environmental cell damage.

Milk – Milk, mainly from cows, sheep, and goats, has been consumed through out the world for thousands of years. It is protein-rich and packed with important nutrients including, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, and selenium. Milk is known to benefit bone health and may prevent osteoporosis.

Maple Syrup – Maple syrup is made by reducing the fluid sap of sugar maple trees. It contains 165% of your recommended daily intake of manganese and significant calcium, iron, potassium, and zinc. However, even though maple syrup contains some healthy antioxidants and nutrients, it has extremely high sugar content which is not healthy.

Vanilla – Vanilla is one of the most popular flavoring agents in the world due to its calming aroma and pleasing taste. It is also rich in the phenolic plant compound vanillin. Vanilla has been shown to protect brain cells against oxidative stress and to reduce liver damage.

Cacao – Cacao powder, commonly used as a base ingredient for chocolate, is made by grinding up coco beans and removing the fat. Its main health benefit comes from an abundance of polyphenols, a naturally occurring group of antioxidants. Cacao powder is a heart-healthy ingredient, known to reduce high blood pressure, improve blood flow to your brain, lower the risk of stroke, and improve Type 2 diabetes symptoms.

Salt – Salt is necessary for essential body function, including fluid balance, muscle function, nerve health, and nutrient absorption. It is the most significant source of sodium in your diet and is often fortified with iodine. Salt helps your body to maintain adequate blood pressure, prevent dehydration, and lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood when consumed in accordance with recommended daily intake guidelines.

Equipment Needed
A standard blender is all that is required to make BlendJet smoothies. If you are making a smoothie for just one person, we recommend using the amazingly portable BlendJet 2 as as it is quick to set up and very easy to clean.
If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.
For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.
How To Make The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Smoothie
The BlendJet Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough smoothie is very easy to make:

- Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! For those with nut allergies or preferences, sunflower seed butter or tahini can be excellent substitutes for peanut butter. These alternatives provide a similar creamy texture and rich flavor, ensuring the smoothie retains its decadent cookie dough essence while being safe and enjoyable for everyone.
If you prefer to avoid maple syrup or simply don’t have it on hand, there are several natural sweeteners you can use as alternatives. Honey, agave nectar, or dates (soaked and then blended into a paste) are all great options for adding sweetness to your smoothie. Each brings its unique flavor profile, which can complement the overall taste of the smoothie while keeping it naturally sweetened.
