Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen banana, protein powder, almond butter, fine sea salt, and pure vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
Check consistency. Blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

For a creamier texture, use ripe fresh banana blended with ice instead of frozen banana. Substitute almond butter with peanut butter if preferred.
