Instructions
Chocolate Banana Protein Shake
- Add ingredients: Place the banana, almond milk, chocolate protein powder, almond butter, cacao powder, and chia seeds into your blender.
- Blend: Add a handful of ice cubes and blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Taste & adjust: Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more almond milk or a dash of maple syrup if desired.
- Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. Top with a sprinkle of cacao nibs or sliced banana for an extra treat.
Berry Green Breakfast Shake
- Add ingredients: Combine mixed berries, spinach, banana, oat milk, hemp seeds, flaxseed meal, and maple syrup in the blender.
- Blend: Blend on high until the spinach is fully incorporated and the shake is smooth.
- Taste & adjust: If you prefer it sweeter, add more maple syrup. For a thinner shake, add more oat milk.
- Serve: Pour into a glass or jar and enjoy! Sprinkle with extra hemp seeds for added protein.
Peanut Butter Oat Shake
- Soak oats (optional): For a smoother texture, soak oats in soy milk for 10 minutes before blending.
- Add ingredients: Add soaked oats, remaining soy milk, peanut butter, date, cinnamon, vanilla, and ice cubes to the blender.
- Blend: Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Pour into a glass and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or a drizzle of peanut butter.
Tips & Variations
- Swap your milk: Use any unsweetened plant milk—almond, oat, soy, or coconut—for different flavors and textures.
- Customize your protein: Add or omit protein powder as desired, or use hemp hearts or silken tofu for a protein boost.
- Make it nut-free: Use seed butters (like sunflower or pumpkin) instead of nut butters and choose nut-free milk.
- Sweetener choices: Medjool dates, agave syrup, or stevia all work well as natural sweeteners.
- Boost the fiber: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flaxseed for extra fiber and omega-3s.
- Add hidden veggies: Cauliflower florets or zucchini (raw or steamed and frozen) blend in seamlessly for added nutrition.
“For extra creaminess, always use at least one frozen fruit (banana or berries) in your breakfast shake!”
