Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder
- 1 medium-sized Banana
- 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 2 tbsp Peanut Butter
- 1 cup Almond Milk
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 cup Ice Cubes
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients on the counter: chocolate protein powder, banana, cocoa powder, peanut butter, almond milk, honey, and ice cubes. Make sure everything is ready to go.
- In your blender, add the banana. If it’s ripe, it’ll help to make your smoothie naturally sweeter, and it’s essential for that creamy texture.
- Next, add in 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder. This is where the magic happens; it gives your smoothie its chocolatey goodness and protein punch!
- Now, toss in the cocoa powder. This will enhance the chocolate flavor, making your smoothie more decadent.
- Measure out 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and add it to the blender. This will provide a delicious nutty flavor and healthy fats that help make this smoothie satisfying.
- Pour in 1 cup of almond milk. This helps to blend everything smoothly and creates a creamy texture without dairy.
- If you like your smoothie on the sweeter side, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of honey. This step is optional, so feel free to adjust based on your taste.
- Finally, add 1 cup of ice cubes to make the smoothie nice and refreshing. This is crucial for reaching that perfect icy consistency.
- Secure the lid on your blender and blend everything on high speed until it’s smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 30 seconds to a minute, but keep an eye on it!
- Once blended, pour the smoothie into a glass, and if you’re feeling fancy, you can top it with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a dollop of peanut butter. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie!
Notes
