Green power protein shake with spinach, banana and peanut butter

Start your day with a burst of nutrition and energy by indulging in this Green Power Protein Shake. Packed with wholesome ingredients like spinach, banana, and peanut butter, this shake is perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout replenishment. Not only does it deliver a substantial amount of protein, thanks to the added whey protein powder, but it also provides essential vitamins and minerals to keep you fueled throughout your day.

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Measure out 2 cups of water (470g).
- Measure 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (33g).
- Portion out 1 scoop of whey protein powder (30g).
- Peel 1 banana and break it into smaller chunks for easier blending.
- Rinse 1 cup of fresh spinach (30g).
2. In the Blender:
- Pour the 2 cups of water into the blender.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.
- Add the scoop of whey protein powder.
- Add the banana chunks.
- Add the 1 cup of spinach.
3. Blend Until Smooth:
- Secure the lid on the blender.
- Blend on high for about 30-60 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If needed, pause and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Check Consistency:
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add more water a little at a time and blend again until desired consistency is achieved.
- Optionally, you can add a few ice cubes and blend again for a colder, thicker shake.
5. Serve:
- Pour the shake into a glass or shaker bottle.
- Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
6. Storage Tips (Optional):
- If you have any leftovers, store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking.

Tips:

- Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness.: A ripe banana not only adds sweetness but also makes the shake creamier, eliminating the need for additional sweeteners.

- Blend in stages.: Start by blending the spinach and water first to ensure the greens are thoroughly processed. Then add the other ingredients.

- Adjust the consistency.: If you prefer a thicker shake, use less water or add a handful of ice cubes. For a thinner consistency, add more water.

- Boost the nutrition.: Add chia seeds, flax seeds, or a handful of your favorite berries for an extra nutritional punch.

- Use unsweetened peanut butter.: Opt for natural, unsweetened peanut butter to avoid added sugars and preservatives while getting that rich, nutty flavor.

Enjoy your nutritious Green Power Protein Shake as a convenient way to pack in protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients. Whether you're rushing out the door or recovering from an intense workout, this shake offers balanced nourishment to power through your day.
