Ingredients

1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk or milk of choice
1 scoop Chocolate Whey or Plant-Based Protein Powder
1 tbsp Dark Cocoa Powder Dutch-processed for a richer flavor
2 tbsp Natural Creamy Peanut Butter no added sugar
0.5 cup Frozen Banana sliced for easier blending
1 tsp Chia Seeds for added fiber and omega-3s
0.5 cup Ice Cubes adjust for desired thickness
1 pinch Sea Salt to enhance the chocolate flavor

Notes

For a lower-calorie version, substitute peanut butter with 2 tablespoons of PB2 powder. To make it vegan, ensure your protein powder is plant-based. This shake can be prepped as a 'smoothie pack' by freezing the banana, cocoa, and chia seeds in a baggie beforehand.
