Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
  • 1 ripe medium banana frozen for thicker texture
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 shot 1 oz freshly brewed espresso or ½ cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey optional, for extra sweetness
  • ½ cup ice cubes

Method
 

  1. Add the almond milk, protein powder, banana, cocoa powder, chilled coffee, and almond butter to a high-speed blender.
  2. Pour in the sweetener (if using) and add the ice cubes.
  3. Blend on high speed for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  5. Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free and vegan version, ensure you use plant-based protein powder.
  • To make it extra thick, use a frozen banana and reduce the milk by ¼ cup.
  • If you don't have espresso, substitute with 1 teaspoon of instant coffee dissolved in 2 tablespoons of hot water, then chilled.
