Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz. almond milk
- 1 scoop (32g) chocolate protein powder (I used Beverly)
- 3/4 dropper of liquid Stevia
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/4 tsp. arrowroot powder (to thicken)
- 160g of ice (about 10-12 cubes)
- 1/2 Tbs. peanut butter powder
- 1/2 Tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Add almond milk, protein powder, Stevia, vanilla, arrowroot powder and ice to the jar of your blender. Blend on low until ice chunks are about the size of marbles and then increase the speed of blending. Blend until ingredients are smooth and creamy.
- Pour the blended smoothie into a large insulated cup (gotta keep it cold!). Top the smoothie with the peanut butter and cocoa powder. Stir the powders into the smoothie until completely absorbed. Enjoy!
Notes
- I use a Blendtec high-speed blender. If you don't have a high quality blender, you may have trouble achieving a totally smooth result.
- This smoothie is best served immediately. If it is left out, it begins to separate and the ice melts causing the texture to change.
- Keep in mind all protein powders are different. This recipe is a starting point, you may have to tweak it to work with your specific protein powder.
