Banana Nut Hemp Shake

After an intense run, I needed to make a post-workout shake. Low on supplies and needing to go grocery shopping, I started throwing ingredients into the blender from what I could rummage in the kitchen...

The final results were this sweet, nutty concoction that’s sure to please—and fill you up. High fiber and high protein all the way, baby!

In a blender add:
1 tbsp (14g) – peanut butter (use organic unsweetened if possible)
2 tbsp (28g) – hemp protein powder (I prefer Nature's Way EFAGold®)
2 cups (480ml) – unsweetened almond milk
5-10 drops – liquid stevia
1 frozen banana (important to use frozen bananas for froth; I keep a half dozen ready)
1 scoop – vanilla whey powder (one cup [240ml] egg whites can also be used)

Blend for 30–60 seconds and serve.

Total prep time: 3 minutes
