  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder (plant-based)
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or other milk of choice)
  • 1–2 tsp maple syrup (optional)
  • 1–2 Tbsp hemp seeds (optional, for added protein and omega-3s)

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding maple syrup.

Notes

For a thicker shake, use frozen banana. Add more almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Swap maple syrup with dates or omit entirely for no added sugar.
