Gather all the ingredients and ensure you have a blender ready.
In the blender, combine 1 cup of low-fat milk with 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder.
Add 2 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter to the blender.
Peel and add 1 medium frozen banana to the mixture. Using a frozen banana gives the shake a creamy texture without needing additional ice cream or yogurt.
Add 1 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon of honey to enrich the chocolate flavor and give a hint of sweetness.
Top with 4 ice cubes to create a thick and refreshing texture.
Add 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor profile of the shake.
Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stop the blender and taste your shake. Adjust sweetness or thickness if necessary, by adding more honey or a splash more of milk and blend again if needed.
Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
