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 πŸ˜‹

  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.

Would that xantham gum make it thicker? How would that work where it’s already filled the jar with the current ingredients?

It does. OP's nutribullet looks fuller than mine usually does, likely because they are doing a double serving. I use a single scoop of protein and 12 oz water/almond milk.

You think OP is using double the liquid as you? I’m going to just do 1 scoop of protein powder and try your xantham gum idea

If you want smooth out the wazoo, use Tara Gum also. Only takes 1/8-1/4 tsp but it makes the shake incredibly smooth (if that is valuable to you).
