Hello Panda Protein Smoothie
This creamy, chocolate-hazelnut protein shake captures the nostalgic flavors of the classic Japanese snack while packing 30g of protein. It's a thick, indulgent treat that works perfectly as a post-workout recovery drink or a satisfying breakfast.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder approximately 30g
- 1 tbsp hazelnut butter creamy and unsweetened
- 1 tsp cocoa powder unsweetened for extra richness
- 0.5 cup frozen cauliflower rice adds creaminess without flavor
- 1 tbsp Hello Panda cookies crushed for topping
- 0.5 cup ice cubes for a thick texture
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup optional sweetener
Notes
For a thicker, soft-serve consistency, reduce the almond milk by 1/4 cup. You can substitute the cauliflower rice with half a frozen banana for a sweeter, fruitier base. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, though the texture is best served immediately.
