Are you looking for a healthy breakfast alternative? What better way to power up your mornings then with this super yummy Chocolate Protein Shake recipe! This healthy shake is protein powder free and #vegan friendly.
All you need to make this smoothie is:
1 ripe banana (peeled and frozen)
2 Tbsp natural salted peanut butter (or sub almond butter, cashew butter, or seed butter of choice)
1 - 2 Tbsp cacao powder (to taste)
1 ½ - 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 - 2 pitted dates or maple syrup (to sweeten // optional)
1) In a high-speed blender, add banana, hemp seeds, oats, peanut butter (or other nut or seed butter), chia seeds, cacao powder, and almond milk (starting with lesser end of range) and blend on high until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
2) Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more cacao powder for chocolate flavor, nut butter for creaminess or saltiness, almond milk to thin, or dates or maple syrup to sweeten (optional).
3) Enjoy immediately, or store covered in the refrigerator up to 1 day (though best when fresh).
