Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 cup chocolate milk
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of chocolate milk, 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces to make it easier to blend. Place the banana pieces into a blender.
- Pour 1 cup of chocolate milk into the blender with the banana. This will add creaminess and enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Add 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder to the blender. This will provide a protein boost to your shake.
- Include 1 tablespoon of peanut butter for added creaminess and a rich, nutty flavor. This also contributes healthy fats and protein.
- Finally, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor of the shake.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, usually about 30-60 seconds.
- Once blended, check the consistency. If you prefer a thinner shake, you can add a little more chocolate milk and blend again.
- Pour the chocolate banana protein shake into two glasses, dividing it evenly between them.
- Optionally, you can garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a few banana slices, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for added presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and nutritious chocolate banana protein shake!
