Recipe Ingredients

ingredients for making a protein shake with chocolate protein powder, frozen banana, and peanut butter measured out on a counter
  • Unsweetened almond milk (vanilla or plain)- you can also use regular milk or another milk alternative like soy, oat, or a different type of nut milk
  • Chocolate protein powder- I use whey isolate protein, but feel free to swap with your favorite here
  • Ground flaxseed
  • Frozen banana
  • Natural peanut butter- or powdered peanut butter to lower the fat and calories
  • Ice- or frozen milk cubes (freeze your milk of choice in an ice cube tray)
  • *optional- 1 tbsp cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor

Recipe Directions

Starting with the almond milk, add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately.

How To Freeze Bananas For Protein Shakes

I love having bananas on hand for protein shakes and my favorite protein ice cream recipe! Another summertime favorite protein ice cream recipe is this strawberry protein ice cream made with frozen strawberries and banana. So simple, delicious, and perfect on a hot summer day. 

To freeze fresh bananas, just peel ripe bananas, wrap individually in plastic wrap, and place them in an airtight freezer storage container for up to 3 months. Then you can just pop one out when you need it. I usually cut the banana in half before wrapping, since some of my recipes only call for half a banana.
