Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake is rich, creamy, and packed with delicious flavors. It’s perfect as a breakfast treat, post-workout recovery drink, or even a dessert!

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (or chocolate syrup)
• 1 cup milk (almond, oat, or dairy milk)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
• 1 cup ice (optional for a thicker shake)
• Whipped cream and chocolate shavings (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
   • Peel the banana and break it into chunks. This makes it easier to blend smoothly.
2. Blend:
   • In a blender, combine the banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, milk, vanilla extract, and honey (if using). Add ice for a thicker, frostier shake.
   • Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Adjust Consistency:
   • If the shake is too thick, add a bit more milk and blend again. If you want it thicker, add more ice or a frozen banana for extra creaminess.
4. Serve:
   • Pour the shake into a glass. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for a decadent touch if desired.

Tips:

• For extra protein: Add a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder.
• Make it vegan: Use plant-based milk and a dairy-free peanut butter.
• Add-ins: You can throw in chia seeds or flaxseeds for a nutritional boost.

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake is the perfect balance of sweetness, chocolatey richness, and peanut butter goodness!
