Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium Frozen banana
- 2 tablespoons Vegan chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
1. Begin by peeling and slicing the medium-sized frozen banana. If you haven't frozen it in advance, you can still use a fresh banana but consider adding extra ice cubes for a chilled shake.
2. In a high-speed blender, add 1.5 cups of unsweetened almond milk. You can use any other plant-based milk if preferred.
3. Add the sliced banana, 2 tablespoons of vegan chocolate protein powder, and 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter to the blender.
4. Include 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder for an extra chocolatey flavor.
5. Sweeten the shake with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, adjusting to taste if desired.
6. Add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds for an added boost of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
7. Pour in 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
8. Finally, add about 0.5 cup of ice cubes, enhancing the thickness and chill of the shake.
9. Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
10. Taste the shake and adjust the sweetness or flavorings as needed. If the shake is too thick, you can add a bit more almond milk to reach the desired consistency.
11. Once blended to your preference, pour the shake into two serving glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
