Looking for a delicious protein shake that you will actually love?! Look no further than this super creamy peanut butter protein shake! It’s been my go-to for years now whenever I need an after-workout recovery meal or mid-day snack.

The ingredients are simple, completely plant-based, and the end result tastes like a healthy milkshake! It ain’t your average protein shake if you know what I mean. It’s perfectly decadent and good for the body as well!

Ingredients – What You Need

Bananas: I like to use frozen ripe bananas to make the shake consistency super creamy and milkshake-like. You want them to be ripe, but not too ripe! They will need to be frozen overnight to be completely solid for the shake.

Protein powder: you can use whatever protein powder you like! I personally love chocolate and use this plant-based protein brand.

Peanut butter: for some added protein and delicious flavor!

Hemp seeds: These seeds are full of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. But they are also perfect for blending into smoothies or shakes because they help make the consistency super creamy!

Nut milk: I recommend using almond milk or cashew milk!

Cinnamon: for flavor!

Tips for Success

How to freeze the banana – there are a few ways you can freeze a banana. One way is to slice it the banana into 1 inch thick pieces and add it to a ziplock bag then freeze. If you need the bananas frozen more quickly, slice them and arrange the banana pieces on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, freeze for about 2 hours until pieces are frozen solid. Add to a ziplock bag for future recipes.

More nut butters to use – if you’d like to use an additional nut butter you can also try almond butter or cashew butter.

Add some greens – if you’re looking to add more nutrients to your shake, you can pop in some fresh spinach or baby kale leaves. You won’t taste the flavor but it may change the color!
