Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 250ml (1 cup) almond milk
- 130g (1) frozen banana
- 30g (1oz) Indigo Nutrition's flaxseed protein powder
- 30g (1oz) cocoa powder
Instructions
- Place everything in a blender and process until smooth. Serve immediately.
- If you find you have too much almond milk leftover, check out my guide on Freezing Almond Milk.
Notes
- You can use any type of protein powder you prefer.
- Different protein powders behave differently though, and you might need to adjust ingredients to your preference. E.g. pea protein tends to give the drink a powdery mouthfeel. Flaxseed appears to act as a thickening agent so if the drink is too thick for your liking, add more liquid. Alternatively, halve the protein powder being used and increase until it suits you.
