Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 scoop chocolate plant-based protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 –2 handfuls of ice about 1 to 1 1/2 cups crushed ice
  • 1 to 1½ cups water or non-dairy milk
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 small banana
  • Optional: ⅓–½ avocado

Method
 

  1. Start by placing crushed ice into your blender. I usually add around one to one and a half cups because it helps create a thick, milkshake-like texture. If you prefer a thinner shake, you can use slightly less ice.
  2. Next, add two tablespoons of peanut butter to the blender. This ingredient gives the shake its creamy texture and rich nutty taste. Natural peanut butter blends especially well and creates a smoother consistency.
  3. Add water or your preferred non-dairy milk into the blender. Make sure the liquid level slightly covers the ice but doesn’t exceed it too much. Too much liquid can make the shake watery instead of thick.
  4. Now add one scoop of chocolate plant-based protein powder. This ingredient provides the majority of the protein in the shake and enhances the chocolate flavor. A slightly heaping scoop can make the shake richer and more satisfying.
  5. Turn on the blender and blend the mixture for about 45 seconds to one minute. Continue blending until the shake becomes smooth and creamy. If the texture is too thick, you can add a little more liquid and blend again.
  6. Taste the shake and add a pinch of salt if needed. This small step enhances the chocolate and peanut butter flavors surprisingly well. Once the flavor and consistency are perfect, pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • I always use frozen bananas when I want a thicker, creamier shake.
  • I start with less liquid and add more later if needed to control the consistency.
  • I prefer blending the ice first before adding other ingredients for a smoother texture.
  • Sometimes I add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to make the chocolate flavor richer.
  • When I want a more filling shake, I add avocado instead of banana.
