Chocolate Banana Protein Shake (vegan, gluten-free)

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients

Base recipe:

  • 1 large (140 grams peeled) cold banana
  • 1/2-1 cup (120-240 ml) unsweetened almond milk (or whatever milk you want) - I use 1/2 cup for the quick oats version or no oat version and more like 1 cup for the cooked oatmeal version
  • 1/4 cup (45 grams) chocolate protein powder (make sure it's vegan / paleo / gluten-free, if needed)

Optional ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon (16 grams) natural peanut butter or another nut / seed butter (use sunflower seed butter for nut-free)
  • 1 tablespoon (7 grams) cocoa powder
  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup cooked and chilled oatmeal or 1/4 cup (23 grams) quick oats (make sure to use gluten-free oats for a GF version)
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup for vegan
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt (if using unsalted nut butter, you might need more than a pinch)

Instructions

  • Add everything to a blender and blend on high until totally smooth. Serve cold (it tastes terrible when warm!).

Notes

For a paleo version, omit the oats and use cashew butter, almond butter or sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter. Also, make sure to use a paleo protein powder and dairy-free milk.
For a vegan version, make sure to use a vegan protein powder, dairy-free milk and a vegan sweetener (not honey).
