Chocolate Protein Smoothie
Ingredients
Step by step process
Prepare the Ingredients
- 1
Put the base for the protein smoothie into a powerful blender jug, meaning the peeled frozen banana sliced into rounds and a measured scoop of protein. The frozen banana is key here, as it replaces ice and thickens the whole drink into a smooth cream.
- 2
Add a spoon of good cocoa, peanut butter and oats. Pour in well-chilled milk, plant-based if you avoid lactose. The oats thicken the drink nicely and add fiber.
Blend and Serve
- 3
Blend for about 60 seconds on high speed, until the ingredients come together into a completely smooth and velvety mixture with no lumps. A few seconds longer will not hurt, the thick foam tastes best.
- 4
If the drink turns out too thick, pour in a little more milk and blend briefly. This way you can comfortably adjust the consistency exactly to your taste and mood.
- 5
Pour the finished drink into a tall glass and serve right away, ideally within 30 minutes after the workout, when your body uses the protein and sugars best. A few banana slices or a pinch of cocoa work well on top.
More tips:
Slice the banana the evening before and let it freeze in a bag. Cold and frozen, it turns the drink into a thick, creamy treat without any ice.
Instead of cocoa and plain protein, you can use chocolate protein powder. You save one ingredient and the flavor stays just as rich.
