Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (approx. 30g)
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter creamy or crunchy
  • 1/2 large frozen banana sliced
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch sea salt (optional, enhances chocolate flavor)

Equipment

  • High-Speed Blender

Method
 

  1. Combine all listed ingredients in a high-speed blender. This includes the unsweetened almond milk, chocolate protein powder, natural peanut butter, sliced frozen banana, unsweetened cocoa powder, ice cubes, and the optional vanilla extract and sea salt.
  2. Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. Ensure there are no chunks of banana or ice remaining. If the smoothie is too thick, add an additional splash (1-2 tablespoons) of almond milk until desired consistency is reached. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes or a small piece of frozen banana.
  3. Pour the prepared Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie into a tall glass and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle a little melted chocolate or sprinkle some mini chocolate chips on top before serving. To boost the nutritional value, consider adding 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flax seeds to the blender. If you don't have a frozen banana, a regular banana can be used, but you may need to increase the amount of ice cubes to about 3/4 cup for the desired thickness and chill.
