Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie delivers 71 g of protein for just 14 g net carbs — minimal fuss, maximum protein. That's enough high-quality protein in one sitting to clear the leucine threshold for muscle repair.
Ingredients
- 60 g Chocolate whey protein powder
- 150 g Plain 0% Greek yogurt
- 16 g Powdered peanut butter (PB2)
- 1 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 250 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- Ice cubes, to taste
Equipment
- blender
Method
- Add everything to a blender.
- Blend until thick and frosty, adding more almond milk to reach the texture you like.
Storage & make-ahead
Best blended fresh. Pre-portion the dry ingredients ahead so it's a 60-second job when you want it.
Tip
Powdered peanut butter gives the flavor of PB with a fraction of the fat and calories. Two scoops of whey + yogurt do the protein heavy lifting.
Dietary swaps
