This Ultimate Thick and Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shake recipe tastes like an indulgent milkshake without any of the guilt!
Protein shakes really save me when I am short on time or when I just need quick snack to cure my sweet tooth.
Plain protein and water shakes just do not cut it!
Instead, I love a nice and creamy, thick and filling protein shake as a meal replacement and this ultimate chocolate peanut butter protein shake is my number one go-to. I honestly make it at least four days a week.
The avocado and frozen banana make this shake SO creamy and thick that it can even be enjoyed with a spoon. Just slightly cut back on the milk to make it a little thicker.
Enjoy this desert like treat can be enjoyed anytime of the day, guilt free. The beauty boosting benefits of protein make this shake perfect for those wanting a sweet treat without sabotaging your weight loss goals.

Notes
When freezing bananas, be sure to either cut them in half or into small pieces before freezing. If not using a high power blender, I recommend making sure to slice the banana thin enough for the power of the blender.
I absolutely love my Vitamix blender for smoothies and it can handle half of a frozen banana like a champ!

Get the most out of your protein shakes
To capitalize on the benefits of protein shakes, I suggest finding a very clean and easily digestible protein powder. Many powders on the market are loaded with additives that are borderline unhealthy, especially during pregnancy.
While I am a very frugal mama, protein powder is not something I suggesting cutting corners with. If you have never experienced protein powder bloat, consider yourself lucky!

Hi Brittney! I have not personally tried Quest protein powder while nursing however I have known several moms that have used it while breastfeeding and they seemed to love it! If you have any concerns, I would definitely ask your doctor but I personally think most protein powders are safe while breastfeeding.
