- 1–2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (5-10g)
- 1–2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (16-32g)
- 1 cup milk, dairy or non-dairy (240ml)
Instructions
- Gather Tools: Prepare a blender, measuring cups, and spoons.
- Add Ingredients: Combine 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen), 1 scoop protein powder, 1 to 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 to 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, and 1 cup milk into the blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. If too thick, add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of milk.

Notes
For a thicker, colder shake, use a frozen banana. Always choose natural peanut butter without added sugars or hydrogenated oils. Store unsweetened cocoa powder in a cool, dry place. Ensure all ingredients are well-blended to avoid lumps. Adjust liquid for your desired thickness.
