Banana Protein Smoothie
This banana protein smoothie is jam-packed with protein to keep you full and repair your muscles! It's ultra-creamy and tastes like a banana milkshake. Enjoy for breakfast or as a post workout smoothie.
Equipment
- high-speed blender
Ingredients
- 1½ frozen bananas cut into halves or chunks
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder plant-based or regular
- 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
- ⅔ cup milk of choice plant-based or regular, I used dairy milk
Instructions
- In the pitcher of a high-speed blender, combine the protein powder, hemp hearts, frozen bananas, and milk.
- Blend until creamy and smooth. It should be thick yet pourable. If it's too thick, add a splash more milk and blend to incorporate.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy right away.
Notes
Plant-based milk: If you decide to use plant-based milk, soy milk is a good option because it contains 8 grams of protein per cup!
