Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate work best)
  • 1 small frozen banana (sliced before freezing for easier blending)
  • 1–2 teaspoons nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew) or 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3–5 ice cubes (for extra thickness)
  • Optional sweetener to taste: 1–2 teaspoons honey, maple syrup, or a few drops of liquid stevia
  • Optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, a handful of spinach, a dash of cinnamon, or espresso shot for a mocha twist
  • Optional toppings: cacao nibs, crushed nuts, or a light sprinkle of granola

Method
 

  1. Add liquids first: Pour your milk into the blender. This helps the blades catch everything smoothly.
  2. Layer in powders and flavor: Add protein powder, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. If using cocoa or cinnamon, add it now.
  3. Blend in the body: Add the frozen banana, nut butter or chia seeds, and ice cubes.
  4. Sweeten to taste: Start the blender and process until smooth. Taste, then add a touch of sweetener if needed.
  5. Adjust texture: Too thick? Splash in more milk. Too thin? Add a few more ice cubes or a bit more frozen banana.
  6. Serve right away: Pour into a chilled glass. Add toppings if you like, and enjoy while it’s cold and creamy.
