Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe bananas (peeled, chopped, and frozen for at least 4 hours)
- 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup of plain almond milk
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend on high for 30 seconds.
- Pour into glasses, top with your favorite toppings, serve cold and enjoy!
Notes
- Freeze your bananas in advance so you always have them on hand to make this speedy protein shake. I basically just cut the bananas into 1-2 inch pieces. A great job for the kids to help out with since they can break it apart using their hands and just place it into a freezer-friendly bag.
- Use a good quality protein powder – I prefer plant-based protein powders that you can find online or in most grocery stores for a decent price. Make sure it is made with as many whole ingredients as possible.
- Use any type of milk you like – I opted for almond milk in this recipe but you can use oat milk, hemp milk, or regular cow’s milk.
- Swap the creamy peanut butter with creamy almond butter – if you have a peanut allergy or you want to keep this recipe fully anti-inflammatory, then creamy almond butter works as a perfect swap for the peanut butter.
- Add in some greens – frozen avocado, spinach, or kale all work as nice additions to this recipe. Note: Adding greens will result in a slightly green tint to the color of the shake but it will still be crazy good!
