TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for you when making this choco-peanut butter cup shake.
- Use Natural Peanut Butter: Choose a peanut butter with no added sugar or oils for the best flavour and nutrition.
- Chill The Almond Milk: Using cold almond milk creates a more refreshing shake without needing extra ice.
- Enhance The Flavour: Add a pinch of sea salt or a dash of cinnamon to elevate the taste.
- Ensure Smooth Blending: Blend the almond milk and protein powder first before adding peanut butter to prevent clumping.
- Boost Creaminess: Blend in half a frozen banana for a thicker, dessert-like shake.
- Increase Protein Content: Add an extra 5g of chocolate protein powder for an even higher protein intake.
VARIATIONS
- Nut-Free Option: Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter and use oat or coconut milk instead of almond milk.
- Chocolate-Hazelnut Version: Use hazelnut butter instead of peanut butter for a Nutella-inspired shake.
- Extra Energy Boost: Add a shot of espresso for a mocha peanut butter twist.
- Lower-Calorie Version: Use powdered peanut butter instead of regular peanut butter to reduce fat content while keeping the flavour.
- Keto-Friendly Adaptation: Use full-fat coconut milk instead of almond milk and add a teaspoon of MCT oil for a keto-friendly shake.
- Crunchy Texture: Blend in a teaspoon of cacao nibs for a little crunch and extra antioxidants.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: This shake is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 12 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking, as separation may occur.
- Freezing: Pour into an ice cube tray and freeze. When ready to drink, blend the frozen cubes with a splash of almond milk for a quick, thick shake.
- Meal Prep: Pre-measure the protein powder and peanut butter into small containers for an easy, grab-and-blend option.
