High Protein Peanut Butter Cup Tropical Smoothie Cafe Copycat

Equipment
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, frozen
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 cups unsweetened soy milk see note
- 1/4 cup chocolate whey protein powder see note
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
optional
- add 1-2 dates or 1-2 tbsp maple syrup to taste
Instructions
Prepare Banana
- Peel a ripe banana, slice it into chunks, and freeze the banana chunks for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Blend Ingredients
- In a blender, combine the frozen banana chunks, peanut butter, soy milk, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, date or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
- Add ice cubes, Greek yogurt, or additional protein powder if you prefer a thicker consistency.
Blend Until Smooth
- Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add more soy milk until you reach your desired consistency.

Serve
- Option to garnish the glass with a peanut butter rum, a dusting of cocoa powder.
Notes
Nutrition information may vary depending on the ingredients used.
Soy Milk - use your favorite milk however soy milk and cows milk have higher amounts of protein compared to other plant milks such as almond, oat, and cashew milks.
Protein Powder - use your favorite chocolate or chocolate peanut butter protein powder. I enjoy Legion and Earth Fed Muscle. You can use unflavored protein powder or vanilla protein powders in a pinch.
