Description
A creamy, high-protein breakfast shake made with just a few simple ingredients. This 3-minute recipe keeps you full until lunch and tastes like a dessert milkshake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large ripe banana (frozen or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 cup milk (unsweetened almond, oat, or whole milk)
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
- Optional: ½ cup ice, 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, 1 handful spinach
Instructions
- Prep ingredients: Peel and break banana into chunks if fresh; measure peanut butter, protein powder, and milk.
- Pour milk into the blender first to help blades spin freely.
- Add banana chunks, peanut butter, protein powder, and any optional boosters (spinach, cinnamon, ice) on top of the milk.
- Secure the lid and blend on low speed initially, then increase to high speed for 30-60 seconds until completely smooth.
- Check consistency; add more milk if too thick or ice/banana if too thin, and blend briefly to adjust.
- Pour into a glass or shaker bottle and serve immediately.
Notes
For best texture, freeze bananas beforehand. If using natural peanut butter, stir well before measuring to mix separated oils. This shake is best consumed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
