Protein shakes are really good to have, especially after a workout. For months, I have just had the regular powder in some water, and it can be not as satisfying as I would like.
Until, I came upon this recipe for a peanut butter cup protein shake. It is so delish and satisfies my sweet tooth and surprisingly really tastes like a Peanut Butter Cup! It also doesn’t add too many more calories, which I am all about!
This is the whey protein I use, but you can use any brand of protein powder you prefer.
Peanut Butter Cup Protein Shake
- 8oz. Almond Milk
- 1 Scoop Protein Shake Mix
- 1 Tbsp. peanut butter
- 1 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder
- 6 ice cubes
Blend well in a blender.
If you use the almond milk I do and choose a protein powder with 100 calories per scoop (or less) this nice little shake is only 240 calories.
great idea
This is one of the best protein shakes ever. I love it.
If I use chocolate protein powder do you think I’d still need the cocoa powder?
I used chocolate protein powder, and I think that the cocoa just helps to make it taste more like a peanut butter cup shake. But it is up to you. You can try it without it, and add it later if you think it needs more chocolate taste.
Thanks!
