Description
Rich and creamy, this smoothie blends the delicious flavors of chocolate and peanut butter while packing in protein for a nutritious treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Start by gathering your ingredients. Peel the banana and break it into chunks, making it easier to blend.
- In your blender, combine the banana, cocoa powder, peanut butter, protein powder, and almond milk.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy. This should only take about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender’s power.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey and, if desired, a handful of ice cubes for a refreshing chill. Blend again until well combined. Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
For an extra creamy texture, use frozen bananas instead of fresh. This smoothie can be enhanced with toppings like chopped nuts or yogurt.
