Ingredients
  

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

1/2 ripe banana (for natural sweetness and creaminess)

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, tightly packed

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust according to your taste)

1/2 cup ice cubes

2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (for garnish)

Extra fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a blender, combine the unsweetened almond milk, chocolate protein powder, ripe banana, fresh mint leaves, unsweetened cocoa powder, and the optional sweetener. Ensure the mint leaves are packed in to intensify the flavor.

    Add Ice: Incorporate the ice cubes into the blender. This will cool the shake and contribute to a thicker consistency.

      Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender for an even blend.

        Taste and Adjust: Take a moment to taste the shake. If you desire a sweeter flavor, feel free to add a little more honey or maple syrup and blend again briefly to mix.

          Serve: Pour the protein shake into a tall glass, showcasing its rich color. Top it off with mini chocolate chips and garnish with a few fresh mint leaves for an appealing presentation.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy it as a revitalizing post-workout refreshment or a delightful snack!
