Equipment
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 5 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup frozen banana
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 8 ice cubes
- Sweetener to taste see note 1
Instructions
- Remove the peel from the banana, slice into large coins, place in a plastic bag, and freeze.
- Combine all of the ingredients into a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth and well incorporated. If needed, stir everything up and blend again. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you may need an additional 1/4 cup milk.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
Note 1: Depending on the protein powder you choose, you might want to add extra sweetener to your shake. I often use a few drops of stevia, maple syrup, or honey, adjusting to my personal preference.
Storage: Enjoy immediately, leftovers don't keep.
