Description

A nutrient-packed shake that balances protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Made with vanilla protein powder, banana, nut butter, and fresh nuts, it’s perfect for breakfast or post-workout recovery.


Ingredients

Unsweetened almond milk, 1 cup
Ripe banana, 1
Vanilla protein powder, 2 scoops (40g)
Natural peanut butter, 2 tablespoons
Chopped nuts, 2 tablespoons
Honey or maple syrup, optional, 1 tablespoon
Ice cubes, optional, 5-6


Instructions

Pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into a blender.
Add 1 ripe banana, 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder, and 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter.
Blend until smooth.
Top with 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts and optional honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Add 5-6 ice cubes and blend again until smooth and creamy.
Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

Use oat or soy milk for a lactose-free option.
Almond or sunflower seed butter can be used if avoiding peanuts.
Opt for walnuts or pecans for a different nut flavor.
Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup.
Can be made without ice to create a softer shake.
