Can I use roasted peanuts or peanut butter instead of raw peanuts?

Yes, the recipe specifically notes that you can use roasted, unsalted peanuts or 1 tablespoon of peanut butter as alternatives to raw peanuts.

What is the purpose of maca powder in this smoothie?

Maca powder is included for its potential energizing properties and adds a subtle, earthy, and slightly malty flavor that complements the chocolate and peanut.

How can I adjust the chocolate intensity of this smoothie?

The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of cacao powder, but you can easily add more to your blender if you prefer a richer, deeper chocolate flavor.

What role does the unrefined sea salt play in this recipe?

A small pinch of unrefined sea salt is added to enhance and balance the flavors of the chocolate and peanut, bringing out their best notes.

Can I substitute the coconut milk if I don't have any?

While coconut milk contributes to the smoothie's rich creaminess, you can substitute it with an equal amount of almond milk or another plant-based milk for a slightly different texture.
