Ingredients

Instructions

  • Put the unsweetened almond milk, peanut butter, date syrup, cocoa powder, and chocolate protein powder into a blender. Add the lid and secure.
    Load ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
  • Blend to combine.
    Begin the blender on LOW speed for 5 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH, then continue for 1 minute.
  • Pour protein shake into a cup. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You might need more than 1 scoop of protein powder per drink. Always check your product's packaging before using it in recipes.
  • If you want a thicker, colder drink, add a few ice cubes as the last ingredient.
  • For the most nutritious choice, pick a peanut butter that has peanuts as the only ingredient.
  • Date syrup adds natural sweetness. If you don't have date syrup, swap it out with honey or maple syrup.
  • A high-quality cocoa powder without added sweeteners is best.
  • Drink the protein shake as soon as you make it. Leftovers can be saved in an airtight jar in the fridge for 1-2 days, but the texture won't be as good.
