Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Protein
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 scoop whey protein powder
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/2 banana
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 scoop of whey protein powder, 1 cup of skim milk, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, 1/2 banana, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Ensure you have a blender or a shaker bottle ready for mixing your ingredients together.
- Start by adding the 1 cup of skim milk into the blender or shaker bottle. This will serve as the liquid base for your protein shake.
- Next, add 1 scoop of whey protein powder to the milk. This will provide the primary source of protein in your shake.
- Peel the 1/2 banana and break it into smaller pieces. Add the banana pieces to the blender or shaker. This will add natural sweetness and creaminess to your shake.
- Measure out 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and add it to the mixture. This will contribute healthy fats and a rich flavor.
- Finally, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor of your shake.
- If using a blender, secure the lid tightly and blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until all ingredients are well combined and the shake is smooth. If using a shaker bottle, secure the lid and shake vigorously until all ingredients are mixed.
- Once blended, pour the whey protein shake into a glass. You can also enjoy it directly from the blender or shaker if you prefer.
- Your Natural and Delicious Whey Protein Shake is now ready to enjoy! You can drink it immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- Ingredient Quality Matters: Choose high-quality whey protein powder for the best flavor and nutrition. Look for options that are low in sugar and free from artificial additives.
- Customize Your Shake: Feel free to experiment with different nut butters, like almond or cashew, to switch up the flavor profile. You can also add a handful of spinach or a scoop of oats for extra nutrients.
- Chill for Refreshment: For a colder shake, use cold skim milk or add a few ice cubes before blending. This can enhance the refreshing experience, especially on hot days.
- Perfect Blending: If you’re using a blender, start with the liquid ingredients first. This helps the blades move smoothly and ensures a well-mixed shake.
- Enjoy Immediately: For the best taste and texture, drink your shake right after making it. If you need to prepare it in advance, store it in an airtight container in the fridge and give it a good shake before drinking.
