Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 scoop chocolate whey or plant-based protein powder approx 30g
- 1 tbsp natural creamy peanut butter no added sugar
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for extra richness
- 0.5 cup frozen sliced banana makes it creamy without ice
- 1 tsp chia seeds optional for thickness and fiber
- 0.25 tsp vanilla extract enhances the chocolate flavor
- 0.5 cup ice cubes adjust for desired thickness
Notes
For a lower-calorie version, substitute the peanut butter with 2 tablespoons of PB2 powdered peanut butter. To make this ahead, blend everything except the ice and store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking. If the shake is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and pulse briefly.
