Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or 1/2 cup for a thinner consistency
- 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter creamy or crunchy
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder about 1/4 cup or 30g
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp chia seeds optional, for added fiber
- 1 cup ice cubes about 8-10 large cubes
Notes
STORAGE: Best consumed immediately. If you must store, keep in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake or re-blend before serving as separation may occur. MAKE-AHEAD: Pre-measure dry ingredients (protein powder, cocoa, chia seeds) into a container or bag for a quick blend. VARIATIONS: Use almond butter or sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter. Add 1/2 a frozen banana for natural sweetness and creaminess. For a lower-carb option, omit the chia seeds.
