Peanut Butter Cup Protein Smoothie
This "frosty"-like protein smoothie packs a whopping 36g of protein and taste more like dessert than a post-workout breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 frozen bananas ~90g
- 5 ice cubes
- 150 g egg whites from the carton
- 1 scoop 15g unflavored whey protein powder (I used Naked Whey)
- 2 tablespoon 24g peanut flour (I use Tru-Nut)
- 1 tablespoon 5g Hershey's Cocoa - Special Dark (Powder)
- 1 tablespoon 5g Hershey's Cocoa - 100% Cacao Natural Unsweetened
Instructions
- Put all ingredients in the bullet and blend until smooth, thick and frothy.1 frozen bananas, 5 ice cubes, 150 g egg whites from the carton, 1 scoop, 2 tablespoon 24g peanut flour (I use Tru-Nut), 1 tablespoon 5g Hershey's Cocoa - Special Dark (Powder), 1 tablespoon 5g Hershey's Cocoa - 100% Cacao Natural Unsweetened
Notes
- YES, it is completely safe to consume pasteurized egg whites from the carton "raw". I've been using them as the liquid in my smoothies for years. It's a cheap and easy way to up the protein in smoothies.
- This smoothie will increase in volume when blended. Make sure to keep enough room in the blender/bullet.
- I use both cocoa powders because I like the flavor but you would easily use 2 tablespoon of whatever unsweetened cocoa you have. It will work just fine.
