Print Recipe

A quick and satisfying shake blending chocolate protein powder, peanut butter, and banana for a creamy, high-protein energy boost perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium ripe banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons natural unsweetened peanut butter
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 4–5 ice cubes
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice one medium ripe banana into chunks (about 7-8 pieces). Freeze the banana pieces at least 2 hours ahead or overnight for best creaminess.
  2. In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen banana chunks, chocolate protein powder, natural peanut butter, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and milk.
  3. Add honey or maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness, and vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
  4. Add 4-5 ice cubes to chill and thicken the shake without diluting the flavor.
  5. Blend starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high, for about 45-60 seconds until smooth and creamy with no chunks.
  6. Check consistency: if too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons more milk; if too thin, add another ice cube or more frozen banana.
  7. Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use frozen bananas for a creamy, frosty texture without watering down the shake. Natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils works best. Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup only if banana is not ripe enough. Blend in pulses if blender struggles. Consume immediately for best texture. Variations include vegan substitutions, adding greens, or a shot of espresso for mocha flavor.
