Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Gather a blender or a shaker bottle that’s large enough to hold all the ingredients.
- Ensure you have a measuring cup and a tablespoon for accurate measurements.
- Measure out 2 scoops (approximately 60 grams) of whey protein powder.
- Pour out 1 cup (approximately 240 grams) of coconut milk.
- Measure 2 tablespoons (approximately 10 grams) of dry cocoa powder.
- In the blender or shaker bottle, add the coconut milk first. This helps to avoid dry ingredients sticking to the bottom.
- Add the whey protein powder to the coconut milk.
- Finally, add the dry cocoa powder.
- If using a blender: Secure the lid tightly on the blender, and blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the shake is smooth.
- If using a shaker bottle: Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Open the blender or shaker bottle and check the consistency. If the shake is too thick, you can add a little more coconut milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Blend or shake again as needed.
- Pour the shake into a glass if using a blender, or drink directly from the shaker bottle if desired.
- Your Coconut Milk Protein Shake is ready to be enjoyed! This shake is best served immediately.
Tips:
- Choose unsweetened coconut milk to control the sweetness of your shake.
- For an extra creamier texture, consider using full-fat coconut milk.
- Feel free to add a natural sweetener such as honey or stevia if you prefer a sweeter shake.
- To enhance the flavor, add a pinch of sea salt or a dash of vanilla extract.
- Blend in some ice cubes for a colder, thicker shake.
- If you like a thicker consistency, you can add a frozen banana or a handful of ice cubes.
- Sprinkle some shredded coconut on top for added texture and flavor.
There you have it - a simple yet delicious Coconut Milk Protein Shake that’s perfect for any time of day. Whether you enjoy it as an after-workout replenish or a healthy snack alternative, this shake offers a wonderful balance of protein and flavorful goodness. Enjoy your shake and stay nourished!
