Ingredients
– 1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy)
– 1 frozen banana
– 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
– 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
– 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
– ½ cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– ½ tsp honey or 1 date (optional for sweetness)
– ½ cup ice cubes
Instructions
1. Add the liquid first (milk) to help with blending.
2. Add dry ingredients like cocoa powder and protein powder.
3. Blend on low for 30 seconds to mix powders evenly.
4. Add banana, peanut butter, yogurt, and vanilla extract.
5. Blend on high for another 30 seconds until smooth.
6. Add ice and blend again for a thick, frosty texture.
7. Taste and adjust—add more milk if too thick or more ice if too thin.
Notes
– Use frozen banana for a naturally creamy texture.
– Add oats or chia seeds for extra fiber.
– Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter if nut-free.
– To reduce calories, use powdered peanut butter instead.
