Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of your choice (2% milk or milk substitute)
  • 4 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a shaker-style cup. Close the lid (tightly!) and shake until everything is well combined and no clumps remain. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • If you don’t have a shaker, alternatively you could mix really well with a whisk, or blitz everything together in a blender.
  • This shake is not low-FODMAP due to the powdered peanut butter and honey. The honey is easy to omit, and if peanuts do not trigger symptoms for you then you may still find success with this recipe!
  • This recipe is super easy to customize. To boost the protein content try sprinkling with hemp seeds or chia seeds. If you’re using a blender, throw in a frozen banana and small handful of ice to up the creamy ante.
