Here is an Easy Peanut Butter Cup Protein Shake Recipe

By Stacey Freeman Leave a Comment

After a workout, I often enjoy a simple protein shake. Usually, I’ll just use almond milk (light, unsweetened vanilla flavor, btw), and a scoop of whey. If I’m feeling extra hungry, I might throw in a tablespoon of peanut butter. Most of the time, this protein shake just serves to tide me over until it’s meal time. However, there’s no reason you can’t use your protein shake as a meal replacement. This peanut butter cup protein shake is a perfect meal replacement, if you ask me.

Although I know it sounds indulgent, it’s actually pretty healthy. The only added sugar in the recipe is from the coffee creamer. If you want to cut down on the sugar even more, you could actually leave out the creamer and just use extra almond milk until you get the consistency you like. It will still taste like peanut butter cup even without the creamer because it still has chocolate and peanut butter in the recipe. The creamer will just give it extra richness and peanut butter cup goodness.

I love this recipe because it’s super easy to make and really does work as a meal replacement when I’m on the go. The day I made this recipe, my daughter said yum and my son said yuck. I just laughed because my son doesn’t like peanut butter or chocolate, the two foods that I think make the world go round. It’s so funny how we have our preferences. Either way, I think this peanut butter cup protein shake is pretty fantastic. Definitely give it a try the next time you’re looking for a protein shake with a little indulgent spin.

Peanut Butter Cup Protein Shake Recipe

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Almond Milk (or milk of your choice)
1/4 Cup International Delight Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Creamer
1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt (or your favorite yogurt)
1 medium banana, frozen
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in a blender and enjoy!

Note: This recipe can serve as the basis and you can definitely swap in other ingredients. If you don’t like greek yogurt, you can use regular yogurt. If you don’t like almond milk, you can use regular cow’s milk or coconut milk. I like using crunchy peanut butter in my protein shakes, but you could also use almond butter or regular peanut butter. If you want an extra chocolatey shake, you could add Nutella. If you don’t like bananas, you can thicken the shake with ice or additional yogurt instead.

Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell your kids not to touch their hair. I can’t believe I have to say this or explain why this is racist. But I do.

I’m sure this seems like a random statement to most people. It might not seem like a big deal to you. But it’s not random and it is a big deal. It’s a common experience for Black people, and it’s not ok. 

Given everything going on right now, it’s hard for me to talk about a right to our personal space and bodies. That’s part of it. But it’s also about making my kids feel like an other.

New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing the story of my shock and surprise when my daughter told me she didn’t feel comfortable wearing her hair down anymore because so many of her classmates were touching her hair. And then being dumbfounded to find out my son has had a similar experience. I also share information on racial micro aggressions and history of Black people’s hair. If this story is surprising or confusing to you, please read more about why it’s never ok to touch Black people’s hair.

I was going to post about summer fashion. I was go I was going to post about summer fashion. I was going to talk about my kids’ beach camp next week. 

But this can’t go unsaid. I am so angry right now. I am terrified for my daughter and women in the U.S.

We just lost a fundamental human right. We just lost control of our bodies. 

This is not about saving the lives of unborn children. Because if it was, then all guns would be banned - because guns are the leading cause of childhood death in the U.S. 

This decision is about control. About controlling women. 

If you have the ability to choose whether to own a gun, why can’t I choose the healthcare decisions that are right for me? This is no longer a democracy. This decision has so much greater impact than people even realize. 

If you’re looking for resources, I’m linking a comprehensive one in my stories. This is not a place for debate, this is a place to protect women and our rights to control our bodies. We must stand together.
