Instructions:
- Ensure you have all the ingredients ready: almond milk, dry cocoa powder, sugar, and whey protein powder.
- Place a blender on your counter and ensure it's clean and ready for use.
- Pour 1 cup (240g) of almond milk into the blender. This will be the base of your shake.
- Measure out 1 tablespoon (5g) of dry cocoa powder and add it to the blender.
- Measure out 1 tablespoon (13g) of sugar and add it to the blender. This will add a touch of sweetness to your shake.
- Measure out 1 tablespoon (16g) of whey protein powder and add it to the blender. This will boost the protein content of your shake.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and fully combined. This should take about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency of the shake. If it's too thick, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
- Pour the shake into a glass. If you like, you can add a few ice cubes to make it extra cold and refreshing.
- Your Almond Milk Cocoa Protein Shake is now ready to enjoy!
Tips:
- Use unsweetened almond milk to control the sweetness and calories of the shake.
- For a thicker consistency, add a few ice cubes before blending.
- Consider using a blender to ensure a smooth and well-mixed shake.
- You can replace sugar with a low-calorie sweetener like stevia or erythritol to lower the calorie count.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
- If you prefer a vegan option, use a plant-based protein powder instead of whey protein powder.
