Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
- ½ banana
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Ice cubes, as needed
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients—almond milk, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter, banana, cocoa powder, vanilla extract (if using), and ice cubes—into a blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30 to 60 seconds. Ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the thickness of the smoothie. For a thinner consistency, add more almond milk or your preferred liquid; for a thicker smoothie, add more ice cubes and blend again.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a frozen banana for extra creaminess and a chilled smoothie without adding more ice.
- Swap peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter if you have allergies or prefer a different flavor.
- Add chia seeds or flax seeds for an extra boost of fiber and nutrients.
