Chocolate peanut protein shake FAQ:

How long should I blend the shake?

Blend the shake for about 30 to 60 seconds, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The exact time may vary based on your blender's power.

Can I substitute ingredients in this shake?

Yes, you can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice (dairy or non-dairy). For the whey protein, you might use a plant-based protein powder instead, but this may alter the flavor and nutritional profile.

How should I store leftovers?

If you have leftover shake, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before consuming, as separation may occur.

What can I add to enhance the flavor?

You can add a pinch of cinnamon or a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness. Optional ingredients like chia seeds or spinach can also boost nutrition without altering the flavor significantly.

How do I know if the shake is the right consistency?

The shake should be smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a bit more almond milk and blend again. Adjust until you reach your desired thickness.

Tips:

- For a smoother texture, blend the ingredients for at least 1-2 minutes.

- Use a frozen banana to make the shake extra creamy and chilled.

- Feel free to add a handful of ice cubes if you prefer a thicker consistency.

- You can customize sweetness by adding a teaspoon of honey or a few drops of stevia.

- Experiment with different types of milk, such as oat milk or coconut milk, to find your preferred flavor profile.

- Ensure your protein powder is unsweetened to control the shake’s overall sweetness.
