A quick and easy smoothie packed with 40 grams of protein, combining chocolate and peanut butter for a delicious and energizing treat perfect for busy mornings or post-workout recovery.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup (120 g) Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium frozen banana
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • A handful of ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients: Measure out 1 scoop (about 30g) of chocolate protein powder, 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter, 1 cup (240 ml) of unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup (120 g) of Greek yogurt, 1 medium frozen banana, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 1 teaspoon of honey (optional), and a handful of ice cubes.
  2. Pour the almond milk into your blender jar to help the blades move smoothly and prevent dry clumps.
  3. Add the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, peanut butter, frozen banana, chia seeds, and honey if using, layering heavier items near the blades.
  4. Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk; if too thin, add more ice cubes or frozen banana.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if desired, then pulse again for 10 seconds.
  6. Pour into a glass or travel cup and enjoy immediately. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides if needed.

Notes

For a thicker texture, soak chia seeds in almond milk for 5 minutes before blending. Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture. Clean blender immediately after use to avoid sticky buildup. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use vegan protein powder. Adjust sweetness to taste.
