Notes

  • Protein Powder Selection:
    • The type of protein powder you use will affect the overall flavor and nutrition. Whey protein gives a smoother texture, while plant-based powders (pea, soy, or hemp) may have a grittier texture but are great for vegans.
  • Sweetener Options:
    • Adjust the sweetness to your preference. If you're using a flavored protein powder (like chocolate or vanilla), you might not need as much added sweetener.
  • Texture Adjustment:
    • For a thicker shake, use a frozen banana and more ice. For a thinner consistency, add more milk and blend until smooth.
  • Dairy-Free and Vegan Options:
    • For a dairy-free or vegan shake, use plant-based milk (like almond or oat) and plant-based protein powder.
  • Calorie Count Variations:
    • The calorie count can be adjusted based on the ingredients you choose (e.g., using almond milk or skipping the peanut butter). If you're tracking calories or macros, use a nutrition calculator to get the most accurate count for your specific ingredients.
  • Customizations:
    • Feel free to add other ingredients like chia seeds, flaxseeds, or spinach for extra nutrients. You can also make it a mocha shake by adding a small amount of coffee or espresso powder.
