- 1 banana
- 1 scoop chocolate-flavored protein powder
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and ensure the banana is peeled and ready to use. Measure out the peanut butter, honey, protein powder, and cocoa powder.
- Add to Blender: Place the ice cubes, milk, banana, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter, honey, and cocoa powder into a high-speed blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30-60 seconds until the shake is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the shake and add more cocoa powder or honey if desired for extra chocolate flavor or sweetness. Blend briefly again if additional ingredients are added.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the shake into a tall glass and enjoy immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use milk of your choice—dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk—to suit dietary preferences.
- For a thicker shake, add more ice or use frozen banana slices.
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
- To reduce sugar, omit the honey or replace with a sugar-free sweetener.
- Blend time may vary depending on your blender’s power; ensure no ice chunks remain.
