Ingredients
Shake Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (of choice) (240g)
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (30g)
- 6 oz vanilla yogurt or 1 banana (170g)
- Sweetener (of choice) to taste
- 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter (optional) (30g)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients, ensuring the milk and yogurt are cold to enhance the shake’s texture and flavor. If using banana instead of yogurt, peel and measure the banana.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the milk, chocolate protein powder, vanilla yogurt (or banana), sweetener, and peanut butter (or almond butter) into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is thick, smooth, and fully combined.
- Serve and Store: Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately. If you have any leftovers, pour them into a lidded container and refrigerate for up to three days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the sweetener according to your taste preference or omit it if your protein powder is already sweetened.
- Adding ice cubes before blending can make the shake colder and thicker.
- Use a high-speed blender for the creamiest texture.
- For extra nutrition, consider adding a handful of spinach or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
