Print Recipe

A ridiculously simple, five-minute shake that tastes like a melted peanut butter cup but packs enough protein to keep you full until lunch. It’s healthy, but it doesn’t taste healthy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana, frozen
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (about 30 grams)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Take your frozen banana out of the freezer. If you froze it whole, break it into a few chunks.
  2. Pour the almond milk into the blender first. Add the Greek yogurt, frozen banana chunks, peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and finally the protein powder on top.
  3. Start your blender on low speed for about 10 seconds, then crank it up to high and blend for 30 to 45 seconds until smooth and thick.
  4. Stop the blender and taste. Adjust sweetness or chocolate flavor as needed. Add an extra pinch of salt if desired.
  5. Pour into a glass and serve immediately. Garnish with cocoa powder, a drizzle of peanut butter, or chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

Frozen bananas are non-negotiable for the best texture. If using fresh banana, add a handful of ice cubes. For meal prep, blend everything except the frozen banana and store the liquid base in the fridge for up to 2 days; add frozen banana and blend when ready to drink. The shake is best consumed immediately as texture changes after about 10 minutes.
