Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 piece banana A ripe banana provides natural sweetness and body.
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter Use natural peanut butter for the best flavor.
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder Pick a protein powder with minimal added sugar.
  • 1 cup almond milk or any milk of choice Unsweetened almond milk keeps the sugar low.
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder Boosts chocolate flavor with antioxidants.
  • optional cubes Ice cubes Add for a thicker, colder smoothie.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the banana and one cup of almond milk into the blender first to help the blades move freely.
  2. Spoon in two tablespoons of peanut butter, the scoop of chocolate protein, and one tablespoon of cocoa powder. Add ice cubes now if desired.
  3. Start on low speed and increase to high for 30-60 seconds, or until no lumps remain and the texture is velvety.
  4. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Can also freeze individual portions for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen cubes with a small amount of milk for best texture.
