Salutations Fellow Chefs,
I love exercising and, as a vegan, I am always trying to find delicious and healthy ways to take in protein. An easy, yet detectable treat that helps me achieve this goal is smoothies! If you want a quick breakfast or a fulfilling post-workout lunch look no further! This is my favorite Peanut Butter Protein Shake:
Ingredients:
¼ cup of frozen spinach
½ one frozen banana
2 tablespoons of Peanut Butter
¾ cup of milk of your choice (I prefer unsweetened Silk Almond Milk)
1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
¼ cup of strawberries*
1 – 2 Medjool dates*
Cacao nibs*
* denotes optional
Directions: (Total time: 5 minutes)
*Soak dates in water for 1-2 minutes
Place the spinach, bananas and peanut butter into the blender
*Place the strawberries and dates in the blender
Add the milk
Add the cocoa powder
Blend!
Sprinkle the cacao nibs and enjoy!
Until next time,
The JLA Kitchen
