Description
Chocolate flavored skinny protein shake for optimum muscle recovery after a workout.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small banana
- 1 scoop unsweetened whey protein powder I used Cabot
- 1 cup ice
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, dark or amber or agave or pinch stevia
Instructions
- Puree banana, protein powder, ice, milk, cocoa and sweetener in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy.
Notes
Protein Powder Alternative:
If you don’t have protein powder or prefer not to use it, add a serving of plain non-fat Greek yogurt. It will alter the taste a bit, and you might have to add extra sweetness, but you’ll still get a full 17 grams of protein.
