Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

If you don't have cake or ice cream to cap off a meal, make this smoothie instead. Tablea, with its bittersweet chocolate flavor, gives the drink a sophisticated, almost adult touch. Add unsweetened peanut butter to the mix and you've got a rich beverage that's earthy, nutty, and deeply chocolatey.

What is Tablea?

Filipino tablea or tableya, meaning "tablet", are pucks of pure chocolate. They are made with local cacao beans that have been fermented, dried, roasted, ground, and shaped into coins or balls. Tablea serves as the main ingredient for sikwate/tsokolate (Filipino-style hot chocolate) and champorado (chocolate rice porridge).

If you can’t find tablea at the grocery aisle, get a dark chocolate you like as an alternative. Adjust the sugar to your liking if you prefer a sweeter or more bitter drink.
