Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium Frozen banana
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds

- 2 tablespoons Almond butter
- 2 scoops Vegan protein powder (Paleo-compliant, such as pea or hemp protein)

Instructions
Add the unsweetened almond milk to a high-speed blender as the liquid base.
Peel and break the frozen banana into chunks, then add it to the blender.
Add the chia seeds and ground flaxseed for an omega-3 and fiber boost.
Spoon in the almond butter to add creaminess and healthy fats.
Add the vegan protein powder for a plant-based protein source. Ensure your powder is Paleo-compliant.
Add the medjool date for natural sweetness. If the date is very dry, soak it in warm water for 5 minutes before adding.
Sprinkle in the unsweetened cacao powder for a rich chocolate flavor.
Pour in the vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor profile.
Toss in the ice cubes for a cold, thick consistency.
Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

Pour into a glass and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly balanced Paleo Vegan Protein Shake!
