Author: Spencer Miller the MacroChef
Serves: 1 serving
Ingredients
⅔ cup milk (I used unsweetened almond)
⅓ cup vanilla Greek yogurt (or preferred yogurt)
1 large ripe banana, frozen*
1 scoop Ascent cappuccino whey protein powder (link above in post)
½ tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder (more if you like a stronger chocolate taste)
1 shot of espresso, cooled**
Instructions
Add all ingredients to a strong blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour into a mason jar/glass. Sprinkle with some extra cocoa powder or chocolate chips.
Garnish with a banana slice. Enjoy!
Notes
*I like to peel and freeze my banana once they are nice and ripe. It makes them perfect for smoothies. If it’s not frozen, that is ok. The shake just won’t be quite as thick/cold. **If you don’t have an espresso machine, use ¼ cup strong coffee/cold brew.
