A basic peanut butter and chocolate protein smoothie get sweetened w/banana, and an intense richness from added cocoa powder and vanilla extract. A yummy way to get in some good stuff on the go..
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (can use soy/almond/etc)
- 2-4 tablespoons protein powder (1/2 to full scoop depending on brand)
- 1 tablespoon all natural peanut butter
- 1 Large Banana (frozen for best texture)
Optional
- 2-3 teaspoons cocoa powder (used Hershey's Special dark)
- 1 teaspoon Sucanat
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (inner baker won't let me leave it out)
Directions
| Combine all ingredients in blender for 30 seconds or until well blended. | |
Note
All ingredients can be modified to suit most basic allergies: feel free experiment with almond milk/butter, or swap out the banana and Sucanat for ice and no calorie sweetener (i.e. Truvia, xylitol, etc ) for a version that will still hit the spot for diabetics/carb sensitive.
