Instructions

Add the milk, vanilla-flavored protein powder, frozen banana chunks, peanut butter, ice cubes, and pure vanilla extract to a blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no chunks, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding a little more milk to thin or adding a small amount of sweetener if desired; blend again briefly if adjusting.
Pour into a large glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Freeze banana chunks ahead of time for a colder, thicker shake without diluting flavor with extra ice.
Use pure vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste to enhance the peanut butter and banana flavors naturally.
