Notes

  • Protein Powder: You can use whey, casein, or plant-based vanilla protein powder. Just make sure it has at least 15–25g of protein per scoop for best results.
  • No Banana? Swap with ½ cup frozen mango, Greek yogurt, or even avocado for creaminess.
  • For Weight Loss: Use unsweetened almond milk and skip the nut butter to keep it lower in calories.
  • Make It a Meal: Add oats, chia seeds, or Greek yogurt for extra fiber and staying power.
  • Storage Tip: Store leftovers in a sealed jar or shaker in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
