Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe banana (frozen for a thicker texture)
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter (optional for extra creaminess)
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder (optional for an extra chocolate kick)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)

Instructions:

  1. Combine Ingredients:

    • In a blender, add the frozen banana, chocolate protein powder, almond milk, peanut butter (if using), cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and honey/maple syrup (if desired).

  2. Blend:

    • Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk or water to reach your desired consistency.

  3. Add Ice (Optional):

    • If you'd like your smoothie to be colder or thicker, add a few ice cubes and blend again until smooth.

  4. Taste and Adjust:

Tips:

  • Add-ins: For extra nutrients, you can add chia seeds, flax seeds, spinach, or a handful of oats.
  • Vegan Option: Use a plant-based protein powder and dairy-free milk to keep the smoothie vegan.
  • Frozen Banana: Freezing the banana helps create a thicker and creamier texture, but you can use fresh banana if preferred.

This smoothie is a perfect balance of protein and flavor. Would you like suggestions for other smoothie recipes or protein powder recommendations?
