Instructions

Place the milk, vanilla protein powder, fresh raspberries, frozen banana slices, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla bean paste into a high-speed blender.
Add the ice cubes last to ensure a chilled, thick texture after blending.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no large fruit or ice chunks remaining.
Pour into a large glass and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Tips

Use fresh or frozen raspberries for the best raspberry flavor and texture.
Vanilla bean paste provides a more pronounced vanilla flavor compared to extract and enhances the chocolate-raspberry combination.
