Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie
A drinkable peanut butter cup with 43g protein and no added sugar. My chocolate peanut butter protein smoothie is a quick, healthy breakfast.
Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
- blender with blender cup
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana fresh or frozen
- ⅓ cup plain greek yogurt
- 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 Tbsp chocolate protein powder
- 1 Tbsp natural peanut butter
- 1 Tbsp powdered peanut butter optional
- ½ cup milk of choice dairy or soy for protein
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender.
- Blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- A frozen banana will make a thicker smoothie, so add more liquid as needed.
- Use natural peanut butter with peanuts as the only listed ingredient.
- I use Leanfit chocolate whey protein powder from Costco.
- For a dairy-free protein shake, skip the yogurt, use a plant-based protein powder, and opt for soy milk.
- If you can't find powdered peanut butter, just skip it!
