Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Natural peanut butter
- 1 scoop Protein powder (chocolate or vanilla, sugar-free)
- 1 Ripe banana
- 5 Ice cubes
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 packet Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional)
Instructions
Start by gathering all the ingredients. Make sure that the peanut butter is well-stirred to ensure a smooth consistency.
In a blender, combine 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk with 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder.
Add 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter. If your peanut butter is thick, you may want to melt it slightly in the microwave for easier blending.
Include 1 scoop of your chosen sugar-free protein powder. Chocolate flavor will enhance the richness, while vanilla adds a nice contrast.
Peel and break a ripe banana into chunks, then add it to the blender. This will contribute natural sweetness and creaminess.
Add about 5 ice cubes into the blender to make the shake cold and refreshing.
Pour in 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile of the shake.
If you desire extra sweetness, add 1 packet of stevia or monk fruit sweetener according to taste.
Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and the ice cubes are finely crushed.
Check the consistency; if you prefer it thinner, add a bit more almond milk and blend again briefly.
Pour the shake into a tall glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and freshness.
