Instructions

Place the milk, vanilla whey protein powder, frozen banana, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and ice cubes in a blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, about 45 seconds.
If the shake is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again until you reach your preferred consistency.
Pour the shake into a large glass and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Tips

Use frozen banana for a thicker, colder shake without needing extra ice.
For stronger vanilla flavor, use vanilla bean paste or scrape seeds from half a vanilla bean instead of extract.
