Ingredients

• 1 frozen banana (adds natural sweetness and creaminess)

• 1 scoop of protein powder (vanilla or chocolate work best; approx. 25g of protein)

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk alternative of choice)

• 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter (for healthy fats)

• 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (for added fiber and omega-3s)

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

• A handful of ice cubes (optional, for a thicker shake)

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Prepare Your Blender
  Start by adding the liquid ingredients first. Pour 1 cup of almond milk into your blender to ensure smooth blending.
• Add the Protein Boost
  Toss in your scoop of protein powder. For a chocolate twist, use chocolate protein powder or add a teaspoon of cocoa powder.
• Include Creaminess and Flavor
  Add the frozen banana, almond butter, and vanilla extract (if using). The banana will thicken the shake while naturally sweetening it.
• Enhance with Nutrients
  Sprinkle in the chia seeds or flaxseeds. These superfoods add a boost of fiber and healthy fats to keep you full longer.
• Blend It Up
  Blend all the ingredients on high until smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, add a splash of almond milk. If it’s too thin, throw in a couple of ice cubes or another half banana.
• Taste and Adjust
  Give it a taste test. Need it sweeter? Add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup (though the banana usually does the trick).
• Serve and Enjoy
  Pour your shake into a tall glass or your favorite protein shaker bottle. For an Instagram-worthy touch, sprinkle some chia seeds or cocoa powder on top.
