Description

A creamy, decadent, and high-protein breakfast smoothie that tastes like a milkshake. Made with just five simple ingredients, it provides sustained energy and keeps you full for hours.

Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons (32g) peanut butter
1 scoop (30g) chocolate whey or casein protein powder
1 medium frozen banana, sliced (about 120g)
1 cup (240ml) milk (almond, oat, or dairy)
Ice cubes (optional, if bananas aren’t frozen enough)

Instructions

Peel and slice bananas, then freeze them solid for the best texture.
Pour milk into the blender first to help blades spin freely.
Add cocoa powder, protein powder, peanut butter, and frozen bananas to the blender.
Blend on low speed, gradually increasing to high, for 30-60 seconds until completely smooth.
Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding honey/maple syrup or more milk/bananas as needed.
Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.

Notes

For best texture, ensure bananas are frozen solid. If using natural peanut butter, stir well before scooping. Smoothies are best consumed fresh; if storing, keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours and shake before drinking. For meal prep, freeze dry ingredients and bananas in bags to blend with milk in the morning.
