This whole food chocolate breakfast shake is rich, creamy, and packed with nutrients to start your day on the right foot. It's naturally sweetened and full of energy-boosting ingredients to keep you satisfied.


Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana (frozen for a creamier texture)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1-2 dates, pitted (optional, for added sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional, for extra fiber)
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (optional, for a protein boost)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup ice cubes (optional, for a thicker shake)

Instructions

1. Blend Ingredients:

Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.


2. Taste and Adjust:

Taste the shake and adjust sweetness by adding more dates or a drizzle of honey/maple syrup if desired.


3. Serve:

Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately. For an extra indulgent touch, top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a few cacao nibs.


Tips and Variations

  • Nut-Free Option: Use sunflower seed butter or tahini in place of peanut/almond butter.
  • Dairy Option: Swap almond milk with cow’s milk or another dairy alternative for a creamier texture.
  • Add Greens: Blend in a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients—you won’t taste it!
  • Meal Prep: Pre-portion the dry ingredients into individual bags for quick assembly in the mornings.
  • Boost Flavor: Add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder for a flavor twist.

Nutritional Benefits

  • Healthy Fats: From peanut butter and chia/flaxseeds.
