If you want a thick, cocoa-rich protein smoothie without the banana, this one is for you. Peanut butter and Greek yogurt create a creamy base, while cacao nibs add a light crunch. It works well for breakfast or a satisfying snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon cacao nibs
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
How To Make It
Add the almond milk, Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, peanut butter, cacao nibs, and ice cubes to a blender. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, add a splash of almond milk. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Tips
Use a frozen Greek yogurt cube or extra ice for a thicker shake. If you like a darker chocolate flavor, add an extra half tablespoon of cocoa powder. Stir in a few cacao nibs after blending for more texture.
This smoothie is a happy, chocolatey way to hit your protein goals without a banana in sight.
