Notes

  • For the healthiest option, unsweetened almond milk is used in this recipe but you can use other types of milk, including dairy and plant-based milks. Cow's milk and soy milk are the richest in protein.
  • You can use whey or vegan protein powder, depending on your preference. Vanilla or chocolate protein powder also work in this recipe but unflavored protein powder makes the peanut butter flavor more noticeable.
  • Vanilla or chocolate protein powder also work in this recipe.
  • For a stronger nutty flavor, add another 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.
  • Omit the date syrup for a less sweet shake.
  • Check the packaging of your protein powder before making this shake. You might need to use more or less than a scoop, depending on the product.
  • Protein shakes are best enjoyed immediately. If you need to store leftovers, keep it in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days.
