This powdered peanut butter shake is sweet, creamy, and delicious. Give it a try if you’re looking for high-protein drinks or smoothies, like this hemp heart smoothie recipe, which is another yummy option.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Powdered peanut butter is made by pressing roasted peanuts to remove most of the fat, then grinding the remaining solids into a powder. It’s so much tastier than most standard protein powders, in my opinion. If powdered peanut butter isn’t available at your local stores, it’s easy to find online.
I’ve included a few different options to sweeten this shake: maple syrup, banana, or a sugar-free liquid sweetener (monk fruit is my favorite). I recommend using banana if you prefer a thicker, smoothie-style drink. Maple syrup is a great option if you don’t want to use a blender. And monk fruit or any other sugar-free sweetener is ideal if you’d like to keep this shake lower in carbs.
I like to include a pinch of sea salt in this shake. It enhances the other flavors nicely, but you can omit the salt if you prefer.
Vanilla extract adds a delicious layer of flavor to this shake. For a chocolate version, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder.
