Instructions
- Combine: In a high-speed blender, add 1 frozen banana, ½ - ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk, ½ cup ice cubes, 3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons plain protein powder, 2 tablespoons cacao powder, 1 tablespoon ground flax, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, ½ tablespoon chia seeds, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ tablespoon maple syrup (if using).
- Blend: Blend on HIGH until consistency is smooth. Add additional splashes of almond milk, as-needed, to thin. Add additional ice cubes to thicken.
- Serve: Add an optional drizzle of peanut butter on top along with some shaved chocolate and whipped cream (dairy-free or reg).
Notes
- Peanut Butter: feel free to sub in a cashew butter here or sun butter if you need to avoid peanuts. I used a sugar-free peanut butter, so be aware that if you use a sweetened version it will add to the sweetness of the shake.
- Protein Powder: use your favorite kind here! I used an unsweetened variety - if you use a sweetened protein powder adjust the recipe accordingly to account for the added sweetness.
- Almond Milk: use any sort of milk you want here like soy milk, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, or coconut milk- we prefer almond milk because of the light flavor.
- Maple Syrup: feel free to try it without the maple syrup and then add if you want it sweeter!
