Easy Morning Protein Shake



I have been drinking this shake every morning for the past 6 months. Not only is it delicious, but it is inexpensive, packed with protein, and incredibly easy and fast to make!


Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk
1 Tablespoon creamy, unsalted, organic peanut butter
2/3 cup vanilla greek yogurt
1 ripe organic banana
2 large ice cubes (optional)


Directions: 
1. Starting with the milk as a base, blend all ingredients together.
2. Enjoy!


The first time I made this shake for my boyfriend he refused to believe it was healthy. "It tastes like a candy bar!" he exclaimed. This protein shake is a great treat to start out the day or to reward yourself with healthy a dessert!
