Notes

Note 1: Or milk of choice; use chocolate almond milk for a more chocolate-y shake!

Note 2: To use powdered peanut butter in this shake, combine 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter with 1/2 tablespoon real peanut butter.

Note 3: The protein powder you use makes a huge difference in the taste of the shake. My favorites are Just Ingredients chocolate-coconut flavor and Clean Simple Eats chocolate. Choose a sweetened protein powder that tastes good to you; it can really make or break the shake’s flavor.

Storage: Best enjoyed immediately.
