1. Gather Ingredients: Assemble all your ingredients on the counter or kitchen workspace for easy access.
2. Prepare Blender: Ensure your blender is clean and ready for use.
3. Add Water: Pour 1.5 cups (360g) of water into the blender. Starting with the liquid helps with blending.

Protein-packed peanut butter shake FAQ:

How long should I blend the shake?

Blend the ingredients on high speed for about 30-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Check the consistency halfway through to determine if more blending is necessary.

Can I use different types of protein powder?

Yes, you can use different types of protein powder, such as plant-based or casein protein. Just be aware that the flavor and texture of the shake may change depending on your choice.

How can I store leftovers of the shake?

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 substitute for heavy whipping cream?

If you want a lighter option, you can substitute heavy whipping cream with almond milk, coconut milk, or any other milk alternative. This may change the creaminess and flavor of the shake.

What if my shake is too thick?

If your shake is too thick, simply add a little more water or milk to the blender and mix again until the desired consistency is achieved.

Tips:

- For a thicker shake, reduce the amount of water or add a few ice cubes before blending.

- If you prefer a sweeter shake, consider adding a natural sweetener like honey or a few slices of banana.

- To ensure smooth blending, add the water first, followed by the other ingredients.

- For added nutrition, you can throw in a handful of spinach or a small piece of avocado without significantly changing the taste.

- If you have a nut allergy, you can substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
