Print Recipe

A quick and nourishing shake combining creamy chocolate and peanut butter flavors with protein for a satisfying boost, perfect for busy mornings or post-workout refuel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder (whey-based or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (smooth preferred)
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan)
  • 1 medium frozen banana
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 3–4 ice cubes
  • 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the frozen banana into chunks for easier blending. Measure out the peanut butter, protein powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, cocoa powder, and any optional add-ins.
  2. In your blender, combine the frozen banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, vanilla extract (if using), and sweetener (honey or maple syrup). Blend again for 20-30 seconds until fully incorporated.
  4. Add ice cubes and optional flaxseed or chia seeds. Blend for another 15-20 seconds. Check consistency; add a splash more almond milk if too thick.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or chocolate flavor as desired, blending briefly if additions are made.
  6. Pour into your favorite glass or shaker bottle and serve immediately.

Notes

Use frozen banana for best creamy texture. Stir natural peanut butter before measuring. Blend banana and milk first to avoid clumps. Adjust sweetness to taste. Prep frozen banana chunks ahead to save time. For vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free yogurt. Nut-free option: substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
