A thick, milkshake-like smoothie with peanut butter, chocolate protein powder, banana, and milk. Tastes like a treat but packs serious protein.
Liquid calories are easier to get down when solid food feels impossible. Sip slowly over 20-30 minutes rather than chugging it — your stomach will thank you.
Serves 1 · 5 min prep
Add 200ml semi-skimmed milk, 1 scoop (25g) chocolate protein powder, 1 tbsp (16g) peanut butter, and half a frozen banana to a blender.
~2 min
Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
~1 min
Pour into a glass. Add a few ice cubes if you want it thicker and colder.
~1 min
Use almond milk or oat milk for dairy-free (adjust protein count). Replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter for nut-free. Use vanilla protein powder if you prefer.
Freeze bananas in advance (peel first, store in bags). The frozen banana makes this thick like a milkshake. Add a handful of spinach for extra nutrients — you won't taste it.
