Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240ml) Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1/4 cup (60ml) Cold Filtered Water
- 1 scoop (30g) Chocolate Whey or Plant-Based Protein Powder
- 1 tbsp (16g) All-Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 tsp (5g) Unsweetened Dutch-Process Cocoa Powder
- 1 pinch Sea Salt
- 1/2 medium frozen banana, sliced
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Instructions:
- Pour the 240ml unsweetened almond milk and 60ml cold filtered water into the blender jar first. Liquid at the bottom creates the vortex needed to pull down solids.
- Add the 30g chocolate protein powder directly into the center of the liquid.
- Spoon in the 16g of creamy peanut butter, aiming for the middle so it doesn't stick to the glass.
- Dust the 5g of Dutch process cocoa powder and the pinch of sea salt over the protein.
- Drop in the 1/2 frozen banana coins. Slicing them before freezing helps the blender process them faster.
- Add the 1/2 cup of ice cubes last to weigh down the other ingredients.
- Secure the lid and start the blender on its lowest speed setting. Wait until the ice starts to shatter before increasing the power.
- Gradually ramp up to high speed and blend for 45 seconds until the sound of the motor becomes a consistent, smooth hum.
- Stop the blender when the mixture looks velvety and forms a slight four point swirl at the top.
- Pour immediately into a chilled glass to maintain the frosty emulsion.
