Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 banana
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 ripe banana, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and a handful of ice cubes.
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces to facilitate blending. This will help ensure a smoother texture in your shake.
- In a blender, combine the coconut milk, banana pieces, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and ice cubes. The coconut milk serves as the base, providing creaminess and a subtle coconut flavor.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and the shake reaches a smooth consistency. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your blender.
- If the shake is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency and blend again.
- Once blended, taste the shake. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a small amount of honey or maple syrup to enhance the flavor, then blend again briefly.
- Pour the shake into a glass. You can optionally garnish it with a sprinkle of chia seeds on top for added texture and visual appeal.
- Enjoy your Clean Coconut Protein Shake immediately for the best flavor and texture!
Tips
- Choose High-Quality Ingredients: Select a clean, minimally processed vanilla protein powder and fresh, ripe bananas for the best flavor and nutritional profile.
- Temperature Matters: Use frozen banana chunks or add extra ice cubes for an ultra-refreshing and thick shake consistency.
- Blending Technique: Start blending at a low speed and gradually increase to high to ensure smooth integration of all ingredients without over-processing.
- Customization Options: Experiment with add-ins like a dash of cinnamon, a handful of spinach, or a spoonful of almond butter to enhance nutrition and flavor.
- Preparation Tip: For meal prep, you can pre-portion your dry ingredients in zip-lock bags, making morning shake preparation a breeze.
- Storage Recommendation: While best consumed immediately, you can store the shake in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
