How to Make Protein Milkshake

Ingredients:

¾ cup (180 ml) milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond milk)
⅓ cup (80 g) Greek yogurt (low fat, plain)
1 scoop (30 g) protein powder (chocolate or vanilla flavor)
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 frozen banana (sliced)
1 tbsp peanut butter (or almond butter)
5 to 6 ice cubes
¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
maple syrup (optional, to taste)
1 scoop protein ice cream
whipped cream (low fat, for serving)

Directions:

Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Depending on the protein powder used, you may need to add some more milk.
Taste and adjust with maple syrup if necessary.
Enjoy immediately with your favorite toppings and a straw for a refreshing protein drink.

How to Serve Protein Milkshake

Serve your Protein Milkshake cold, topped with a dollop of low-fat whipped cream for an extra treat. You can also sprinkle some cocoa powder or add a few slices of banana on top for a nice presentation. Enjoy it in a tall glass with a straw for a refreshing experience.

How to Store Protein Milkshake

If you have any leftovers (though it’s hard to resist finishing it all), store your Protein Milkshake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, as it contains ingredients like banana and Greek yogurt, it’s best enjoyed fresh for the ideal taste and texture.

Tips to Make Protein Milkshake

For a creamier texture, use full-fat yogurt or add extra banana.
Experiment with different flavors of protein powder to find your favorite.
Add in spinach or kale for a green smoothie version with added nutrients.
If you want it sweeter, drizzle in some honey or agave syrup.

Variation

You can easily modify this recipe to fit your preferences. Try different nut butters like cashew or sunflower seed butter, or switch out the frozen banana for other frozen fruits like berries or mango for a different flavor profile.
