A quick and easy creamy peanut butter chocolate protein shake that provides a wholesome boost, perfect for post-workout, busy mornings, or a comforting snack without the sugar crash.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (creamy style preferred)
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk (or dairy/oat milk)
  • 1/2 ripe banana, sliced
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt (optional, can swap for dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 45 ice cubes
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients: chocolate protein powder, natural peanut butter, banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, cocoa powder, ice cubes, and sea salt.
  2. Add almond milk, Greek yogurt, banana, peanut butter, and honey into the blender. Blend on medium speed for 20-30 seconds until smooth.
  3. Add chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and sea salt. Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until creamy with no lumps. Add more almond milk if too thick.
  4. Add ice cubes and pulse blend 3-4 times until chilled and smooth but not watery.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey if needed. Adjust thickness with additional almond milk if desired and blend briefly.
  6. Serve immediately in a glass or shaker bottle. Optionally, sprinkle cocoa powder or crushed peanuts on top.

Notes

Add liquids before powders to avoid clumps. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Freeze banana slices for a thicker shake. Blend right before drinking to maintain creamy texture. Adjust thickness with almond milk and sweetness with honey. Can swap Greek yogurt for dairy-free options for vegan version.
