Notes
Protein Powder: We like Clean Simple Eats Brownie Batter. Use your favorite brand.
No Banana: substitute 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum, to add some thick shake consistency.
Sweetener: As is, this shake is richly dark chocolate. If you’d like to sweeten it, add a little maple syrup, agave, or chocolate stevia drops.
Nut-Free: Use oat milk or soy milk and omit the peanut butter powder.
Thick Chocolate Shake: Add even more ice.
