Green power protein shake with spinach, banana and peanut butter FAQ:

What is the best way to store leftover protein shake?

Store any leftover shake in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking to restore consistency.

Can I substitute whey protein powder with a plant-based alternative?

Yes, you can use a plant-based protein powder as a substitute for whey protein powder. This will still provide protein, but the flavor and texture may vary.

How can I adjust the consistency of my protein shake?

If you prefer a thinner shake, add more water a little at a time and blend again. For a colder, thicker shake, add ice cubes and blend until smooth.

What can I use instead of peanut butter if I have a nut allergy?

You can substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or a seed-based alternative to maintain creaminess without using nuts.

How long should I blend the ingredients for the shake?

Blend the ingredients on high for about 30-60 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides if needed.

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.
