Ingredients
Shake Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 5 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup frozen banana (sliced and frozen beforehand)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 8 ice cubes
- Sweetener to taste (such as stevia, honey, or maple syrup; optional)
Instructions
- Freeze the Banana: Remove the peel from the banana and slice it into large coins. Place the slices into a plastic bag and freeze them until solid to ensure a creamy, chilled shake.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the frozen banana slices, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, chocolate protein powder, Dutch process cocoa powder, almond butter, vanilla extract if using, ice cubes, and your preferred sweetener into a high-powered blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated. If your blender isn’t high-powered, add an additional 1/4 cup of almond milk to help blend smoothly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use a high-powered blender to achieve the smoothest consistency; otherwise, add extra almond milk as needed.
- Sweetener is optional depending on your protein powder sweetness and personal preference.
- Frozen banana adds natural sweetness and thickness, making the shake creamy without ice dilution.
- For nut-free option, substitute almond butter with sunflower seed butter and use nut-free milk.
