A thick, creamy, and delicious protein shake combining chocolate and peanut butter flavors, perfect as a quick snack or meal replacement with a smooth, indulgent texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder (plant-based or whey)
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1 medium-sized frozen banana, sliced
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or whole milk for extra creaminess)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 34 ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the banana into chunks if not already frozen. Measure out protein powder, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and yogurt.
  2. Place frozen banana, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, and 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk into the blender jar.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup and 1 teaspoon chia seeds if using.
  4. Blend on high for 60-90 seconds until smooth and thick, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  5. Add 3-4 ice cubes and blend again for 30 seconds until ice is fully broken down and shake is chilled.
  6. If too thick to blend, add 1-2 tablespoons more almond milk gradually. If too thin, add more frozen banana slices or peanut butter.
  7. Pour into a glass or shaker bottle and serve immediately, enjoying with a spoon or wide straw.

Notes

Let frozen banana thaw for 5 minutes if blender struggles with thick textures. Blend in stages and scrape sides to avoid clumps. Adjust almond milk gradually to control thickness. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. Variations include adding cinnamon, vanilla extract, or instant coffee granules for flavor boosts.
