  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather your ingredients: Before you start, make sure you have all your ingredients ready to go.
  2. Blend it up: In a blender, combine the frozen banana, chocolate protein powder, almond milk, cocoa powder, and nut butter (if using). Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  3. Adjust consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk. If it’s too thin, add more ice cubes or banana.
  4. Taste test: Give it a taste. If you want it sweeter, blend in honey or maple syrup.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Pour your smoothie into a glass and enjoy!

Notes

For a balanced meal, pair the smoothie with a small bowl of mixed berries or a handful of nuts. Smoothies are best consumed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a day or frozen in portions for later use.
