Payday Protein Shake
This high-protein treat mimics the salty-sweet perfection of a Payday candy bar using creamy peanut butter, salted peanuts, and a touch of caramel flavor. It's a satisfying post-workout recovery drink that tastes like a decadent dessert without the added sugar.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder approximately 30g
- 1 tbsp creamy natural peanut butter no added sugar
- 1 tbsp PB2 or powdered peanut butter for extra nutty flavor
- 1/2 tsp caramel extract provides the signature candy bar aroma
- 1/4 tsp sea salt adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp roasted salted peanuts crushed for topping
- 1 cup ice cubes add more for a thicker consistency
Notes
For a thicker, milkshake-like consistency, use a frozen banana instead of half the ice. To make it vegan, swap the whey protein for a vanilla plant-based protein. This shake is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 hours; re-shake or blend before drinking if separation occurs.
