TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this classic chocolate power shake.

  • Use Frozen Banana: A frozen banana makes the shake thicker and creamier, eliminating the need for ice.
  • Enhance The Chocolate Flavour: A pinch of sea salt or a dash of cinnamon can deepen the chocolate taste.
  • Make It More Filling: Add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter for extra protein and healthy fats.
  • Use A High-Quality Protein Powder: Opt for a natural protein powder with minimal additives for the best results.
  • Blend Thoroughly: Ensure the ingredients are fully mixed to create a smooth, lump-free texture.
  • Sweetness Control: Adjust the amount of honey based on preference or swap it for maple syrup or dates.
  • Keep It Cold: If serving later, store it in the fridge and shake it well before drinking.

VARIATIONS

  • Dairy-Free Option: Use oat or coconut milk instead of almond milk for a different taste.
  • Superfood Boost: Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for additional fibre and omega-3s.
  • Mocha Twist: Blend in ½ tsp of instant coffee for a chocolate-coffee kick.
  • Nutty Version: Stir in a tablespoon of cashew butter for a richer taste.
  • Green Upgrade: Add a handful of spinach for extra nutrients without affecting the taste.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
  • Freezing: Pour into an ice cube tray and freeze. Blend the cubes with fresh almond milk when ready to drink.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Pre-portion dry ingredients into small containers for a quick and easy shake on busy days.
