Creamy, thick, chocolatey, with peanut butter and banana. This is one of my favorite protein shakes to drink after a hard workout.
I joined a gym. I wrote about really getting into my workout routine in this post. Well I’ve been doing really well getting in my workouts but then we started to remodel our workout room. It’s just this tiny little room in our basement that’s been in various stages of remodel for about 8 years. Right after the pandemic lockdowns we cancelled our gym memberships and found some equipment on craigslist and literally just threw it in this room. There’s also a refrigerator, coffee table, a giant metal chair, and my son’s battery operated jeep in this tiny little room. So needless to say when we worked out we had to get creative and be very careful. And now that we are remodeling-or finally finishing the remodeling- it’s impossible to work out. So yeah, we joined a gym again because working out right now is really important to us.
And this protein shake/smoothie is also really important to me because it’s just so good and tasty and it’s like a really great treat I look forward to after a hard workout.
I have this single serve attachment for my Ninja that i just throw everything into. A regular blender works just fine too.
I feel like this picture is phallic looking. Sorry not sorry. Also, as much as i like my Ninja, it is the loudest blender I have ever heard. Especially the single serve attachment. If my son is home when I use it he puts on headphones. The cats hate it too. Usually they run and hide.
