- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon almond butter

Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, and ice as needed.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces to make blending easier.

- Add ice to the blender. The amount of ice can be adjusted based on your preference for thickness and temperature. For a thicker shake, add more ice.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds, depending on the strength of your blender.

- Enjoy your delicious and nutritious brownie batter protein shake immediately!
Tips
- Choose the Right Protein Powder: For the best flavor, opt for a high-quality chocolate protein powder that suits your dietary preferences, whether it's whey, plant-based, or casein.
- Ripe Bananas Are Key: Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your shake will be!
- Adjust the Thickness: If you prefer a thicker shake, add more ice or reduce the almond milk. For a thinner consistency, simply add more almond milk until you reach your desired texture.
- Blend in Stages: If your blender struggles with ice or frozen ingredients, blend the banana and almond milk first, then add the protein powder, cocoa, and ice for a smoother blend.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Enhance your shake by garnishing it with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a drizzle of almond butter, or even a few chocolate chips for an extra treat.
- Make It Ahead: If you're short on time, prepare the ingredients the night before. Just combine everything in a blender in the morning for a quick and nutritious breakfast on the go!
