Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large frozen banana
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 scoop (about 30 g) chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Method
 

  1. Place the frozen banana, milk, protein powder, cocoa powder, and vanilla into a blender.
  2. Blend on high until completely smooth, 30 to 60 seconds, scraping down the sides if needed.
  3. Pour into a glass and serve immediately, with a dusting of cocoa on top if you like.

Notes

Using a frozen banana is the key to a thick, frosty shake. If you only have room-temperature bananas, add a few ice cubes and reduce the milk slightly so the smoothie stays creamy. For a lightly sweeter drink, blend in a pitted date.
