Whipping up this Peanut Butter Protein Shake is a breeze; just toss all the ingredients into a blender and blend!

Peanut butter and chocolate are an unbeatable flavor duo. Everyone raves about our regular Chocolate Protein Shake, and this one is equally irresistible with a peanut butter twist. It’s so luscious, it could pass for a healthy milkshake, packed with bold flavors and nourishing ingredients.

QUICK TIP

To use powdered peanut butter in this shake, use 2 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter and 1/2 tablespoon real peanut butter.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup frozen banana coined and then frozen
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or use chocolate almond milk for a more chocolate-y shake!)
  • 1 tablespoon Special Dark (or Dutch-process) cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter Note 1
  • 1 scoop (1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon (32g) chocolate protein powder Note 2
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 8 ice cubes

Instructions

  • NIGHT BEFORE: Remove the peel from the banana, slice into large coins, and place in a plastic bag in the freezer.
  • DAY OF: When the banana is completely frozen, measure out 1/2 cup and add it to a blender, along with the following ingredients in this order: the milk, cocoa powder, peanut butter, protein powder, honey, and then ice.
  • BLEND: Blend until smooth. Pour into a large glass and drizzle with extra peanut butter if desired. Enjoy immediately.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: To use powdered peanut butter in this shake: Use 2 tablespoons of powdered peanut butter and 1/2 tablespoon real peanut butter.
Note 2: The protein powder you use makes a huge difference in the taste of the shake. I recommend a whey protein powder that has some kind of sweetener added, such as stevia. If the protein doesn't have stevia, I recommend adding a few drops of vanilla stevia to this shake.

  6. Going to try without the chocolate as I want a peanut butter shake not a peanut butter chocolate shake. Might have to add more peanut butter to replace the cocoa, will see. Thanks for the recipe
