Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 banana (frozen)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 1 scoop of protein powder, 1 frozen banana, and ice cubes as needed.
- In a blender, pour in the 2 cups of almond milk. This will serve as the base for your milkshake and provide a creamy texture.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the blender. This will give your milkshake a rich chocolate flavor while keeping it healthy.
- Next, spoon in the 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. This will add a delicious nutty taste and boost the protein content of your shake.
- Include 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder. Choose a flavor that complements chocolate, such as chocolate or vanilla, for the best results.
- Take the frozen banana and break it into chunks before adding it to the blender. The frozen banana will help thicken the shake and add natural sweetness.
- If you prefer a thicker shake, add a few ice cubes to the blender. This will enhance the coldness and texture of your milkshake.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
- Once blended, stop the blender and check the consistency. If it's too thick, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired texture.
- Pour the milkshake into two glasses, dividing it evenly between them.
- Optionally, you can top your milkshake with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a dollop of peanut butter for added presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy chocolate peanut butter milkshake packed with protein!
Tips
- Use a frozen banana for extra creaminess and natural sweetness - it's a game-changer for texture!
- Choose a high-quality protein powder that complements chocolate flavors for the best taste.
- For an even richer experience, slightly warm your peanut butter before adding to enhance its flavor.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, adjust almond milk quantity; for a thicker shake, add more ice.
- Experiment with different protein powder flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or even salted caramel.
- Invest in a high-powered blender to ensure a smooth, lump-free milkshake every time.
- For meal prep, you can prepare the dry ingredients in advance and store them in portion-controlled bags.
