Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shake

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shake

I am not a morning person, but my kids are. 6 AM hits and both kids are awake and happy and I am still trying to drag myself out of bed. I recently kicked my caffeine habit and I have been working toward a healthier lifestyle, so I wanted something that I could count on in the morning to give me energy, help perk me up a little bit and that didn’t take a long time to make. My go to has become this chocolate peanut butter banana shake. It has everything I need to chase my little ones around until lunchtime and the best part is that it is Vegan. Real whole food. ย It is easy to make and the ingredients are simple ones I have on hand.

You will need:

  • A blender
  • half a banana
  • 1 tbs of peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup of almond milk
  • 1/2 scoop of Vega Essentials Chocolate Protein Powder

Slice your banana up into slices and then add everything to a blender, topping with the ice. Blend it until smooth.

When I am making smoothies I use Vega Essentials Protein Powder because it is made from whole food ingredients and has 20 grams of plant based protein per serving. It has 25 % of your daily intake of food based vitamins and minerals as well as fiber and Omega 3s. It is Non-GMO Project verified, gluten-free and made with no added sugar or artificial flavors and colors so when one of my little ones wants a sip of my shake, I can feel great about letting them have some. If you have any questions about Vega Essentials, you can reach out to the company here.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shake
I am trying so hard to eat right and exercise every day. I want to be strong and Vega helps me focus on that goal. I also really like the taste of the protein powder. I have hated protein powders for years because of the nasty chalky taste they leave in my mouth. I haven’t experienced that at all with Vega. My shakes or drinks always taste fantastic.

What kind of shake would you make with Vega Essentials?

    I don't have a blender-my mini one finally broke and I am allergic to bananas! However that powder probably tastes really good if you ise just a shaker bottle with the Almond Milk–think I might try it.

    I do love smoothies for convenience and taste, but I steer clear of protein powders and supplements as a general rule. I'd rather get my whole foods from actual foods, that way I con control what's actually going into my meals.

    It sounds delicious! I really like almond milk in cereal, and just plain in a glass, I used to put it in my coffee, but it does not go for some reason. But in a shake with bananas, yum!

    I have started eating healthy by having smoothies in the morning and a large bowl of salad for lunch along with what was cooked that day. But looks like protein shake can also do a better job
    Thanks for sharing

    This sounds like it will make a really tasty protein shake. I usually avoid protein shakes because they can taste pretty bad.

    I haven't made one with almond milk yet. I'll bet that tastes much better than just plain skim milk

    Some of my favorite flavors together! Chocolate, banana, and peanut butter are a hit for sure! The added protein makes it all the better.

    I'll take all the protein shake recipes I can get! Drinking the same thing every morning gets old! (except coffee, coffee never gets old)

    This is my daily go-to right now! I like to freeze the bananas (peel them first….I learned that the hard way!) so it makes it kinda like a milkshake.
