Creamy Peanut Butter Protein Shake
A thick and satisfying peanut butter shake that tastes just like dessert but works great as a quick meal or snack.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing better than a cool shake that feels like a treat but actually keeps you full. This recipe is a favorite in my house because it blends the classic flavor of a peanut butter cup with a good dose of protein to power your day.
My best tip is to use a frozen banana if you can. It makes the texture extra thick and creamy without needing to add any ice that might water down the peanut butter flavor.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana, preferably frozen
- 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- 1 cup milk of your choice
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if you like it sweeter
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Add the banana, protein powder, peanut butter, and your choice of milk into a blender.
- 2
If you like a colder shake, add the ice cubes now.
- 3
Blend everything on high speed for about 30 seconds or until the mixture is completely smooth.
- 4
Pour into a chilled glass and serve immediately.
💡 Tips
If you want an extra crunch, top your finished shake with a few crushed peanuts or a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings. You can keep any leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the freezer for a quick grab and go treat later on.
