Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana (If you like your shakes cold, frozen bananas are a wonder!)
• 1 scoop of mushroom mocha powder
• 1 cup of oat milk (or your plant-based milk of choice) or protein mix if you want an extra boost of protein
• 1 tablespoon of honey or 
• 1 tablespoon of peanut butter

Instructions:

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients Ensure that you have all the necessary ingredients within reach. This will make the process smooth and enjoyable.

Step 2: Prepare the ripe banana. This is a great recipe to use your overripe bananas! You may need to cut it into chunks. The size of the chunks will depend on your blender's capacity and your personal preference. If you have a high-speed blender you may not even need to cut it up.

Step 3: Pour in the Oat Milk. Measure out one cup of oat milk (or any type of milk you prefer) and pour it into the blender. Oat milk is a fantastic choice for this shake due to its creamy texture and subtle sweetness. However, feel free to substitute it with your preferred plant-based protein drink if desired.

Step 4: Measure and Add the Mushroom Mocha Protein Powder. Take a scoop of mushroom mocha protein powder and add it to the blender. This protein powder not only adds a delightful mocha flavor but also provides an excellent source of protein for your shake.

Step 5: Drizzle with Honey. Add a tablespoon of honey to the blender. Honey acts as a natural sweetener, complementing the banana's flavor and providing a touch of indulgence to the shake.

Step 6: Spoon in the Peanut Butter! Measure a tablespoon of peanut butter and spoon it into the blender. Peanut butter adds richness, creaminess, and a nutty undertone that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.

Step 7: Blend Until Smooth Secure the blender lid tightly and blend the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. The blending time may vary depending on the power of your blender, but it typically takes 30-60 seconds.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy! Once your shake has reached the desired consistency, pour it into your favorite glass. Garnish it with a banana slice, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder, if desired. Grab a straw, take a sip, and revel in the luscious combination of flavors and the nutritional boost provided by this incredible banana protein shake.
