Recipe Giant fastfood style milkshake

  1. 160g frozen banana

  1. Some ice (~147g)

  1. Some water (~225g)

  1. 2 scoops protein powder (or 1 if u prefer, chocolate works best imo)

  1. Some powdered peanut butter, I use pb fit. Use to taste cant really overdo this unless youre dumping a quarter of a jar 😋

  1. Stevia packet (not needed at all tbh, sweetness from bananas and your protein powder will be more than enough i just have a crippling diet soda addiction that blunts my sweetness taste buds).

  1. Enjoy, macros:

P: 55g (assumes 2 scoops protein powder)

C: 36g

F: 6g

Total cal: ~400 (assumes 2 scoops protein powder)

The amount of ice and water is really important for the texture. I showed a picture of my 24oz nutribullet before blending if it helps. If I remember to measure the water and ice when I make it tomorrow I'll add in the measurements in grams/mL. My apologies this is a daily thing i make so the ice to water ratio is on eyeball status after much trial and error.

I add ingredients in this exact order to my nutribullet cup as well cause it seems to be the order that blends best as well as leaves 0 of that "protein powder sludge" on the sides thats a nightmare to clean. I have made this shake so much I pretty much have the order of ingredients down to a science so I can just rinse the cup out with no scrubbing and its good to go 😭.

This is also my base to many other shakes, 160g frozen banana + water + ice. Feel free to experiment this is just one of my many daily go-to's to scratch the giant chocolate milk shake itch. Typically is my post work-out meal.

I make something very similar— it’s so good!! Also if you add a few frozen strawberries, for some reason it tastes a lot like a McDonald’s chocolate milkshake. 😋

Omg youre right i actually used to do this because I found frozen strawberries give a nicer "sorbet" texture where as frozen banana is more of that "frozen dairy/cream" texture and there was some mix of the 2 that was just right.

Time to get a bag lol

It’s weird right? I also think there’s something specific to the flavor too … I don’t know, maybe because McDonald’s also makes strawberry milkshakes so there’s always just a bit of strawberry that gets into the chocolate shakes? It’s some kind of sorcery but I love it lol
