  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder or 1 shot cooled espresso
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4–5 ice cubes

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (if desired for extra sweetness)
  • Crushed peanuts, for topping
  • Peanut butter drizzle, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather the frozen banana, natural peanut butter, vanilla protein powder, espresso (instant powder or cooled shot), almond milk, vanilla extract, and ice cubes. If you prefer your shake sweeter, have honey or maple syrup ready.
  2. Combine in Blender: Place the frozen banana, peanut butter, protein powder, espresso, almond milk, vanilla extract, and ice cubes into a high-speed blender. This combination ensures a creamy texture with a balanced flavor profile.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy, making sure the ice is fully crushed and ingredients are well combined. This usually takes about 30-45 seconds depending on your blender.
  4. Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Taste your shake and if desired, add honey or maple syrup for added sweetness. Blend briefly again to mix the sweetener evenly.
  5. Serve: Pour the shake into a tall glass. Optionally, garnish with crushed peanuts and a drizzle of peanut butter on top for added texture and flavor.
  6. Enjoy Immediately: Drink the shake right away to enjoy the best texture and refreshing iced temperature.

Notes

  • Use a frozen banana to achieve the thick, creamy texture without the need for ice cream.
  • Adjust the amount of espresso powder or coffee shot to suit your caffeine preference.
  • The protein powder choice can be customized: whey, plant-based, or any vanilla-flavored protein works well.
  • Use unsweetened almond milk or your preferred milk alternative to control sugar content.
  • For a vegan shake, ensure the protein powder is plant-based and select maple syrup as a sweetener.
  • Adding crushed peanuts and a peanut butter drizzle enhances the taste and presentation but is optional.
