Instructions
  1. 1

    Load the blender

    Drop the frozen bananas, peanut butter, almond milk, cocoa powder, protein powder, ground flax, honey, and ice into a high-speed blender. The frozen bananas are doing the heavy lifting here, so don't skip freezing them ahead of time.

  1. 2

    Blend until thick

    Blend on high until it's completely smooth and thick, about 45 to 60 seconds. If it's too stiff to move, splash in a little more almond milk and blend again. You want it thick enough to hold a straw upright but still drinkable.

  2. 3

    Taste and pour

    Give it a taste. If your bananas were super ripe you might not need the honey at all, so adjust to your sweet tooth. Pour into two glasses and drink it right away while it's cold and frosty.

Notes & Tips

This one drinks like a milkshake but it's actually loading you up on protein and fiber, which is exactly the kind of trick I'm into. Frozen banana is the whole secret to that thick, almost ice-cream texture, so keep a stash of sliced ripe bananas in the freezer. Want a mocha version? Toss in a shot of cold brew or espresso. Peanut allergy? Almond butter or sunflower seed butter both work and taste just as good.
