- Layer Your Ingredients: To achieve a smooth blend, add the almond milk first, followed by the protein powder, peanut butter, and banana. This order helps create a liquid base for easier mixing.
- Adjust the Thickness: If you prefer a thicker shake, add more ice cubes or a bit of frozen banana. Blend until you reach your desired consistency.
- Get Creative with Add-ins: Feel free to experiment by adding a tablespoon of chia seeds, a scoop of oats, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra nutritional boost.
- Presentation Matters: For a touch of elegance, garnish your shake with a dusting of cocoa powder or a few chopped peanuts before serving.
