What Do You Put In Your Protein Shake?
In the past, I’ve tried a combination of add-ins to my protein shakes and smoothies, including:
- blueberries
- kale
- almonds
- spinach
- Detox Organics
- celery
- strawberries
- tart cherries
- carrots
- chia seeds
- oatmeal
- avocado
- pineapple
- raw, unsweetened coconut
- peanut butter
- exogenous ketones
- and even dark chocolate just to name a few
just to name a few.
I’ve added maca powder, raw organic greens, liquid multivitamins, flaxseed, and hemp seed to boost nutrition and health.
I’ve also used raw cow’s milk, filtered water, almond milk and coconut milk, but one of my all-time favorites is this simple, yet delicious peanut butter protein shake. It’s one of my hubby’s favorites too – he probably drinks more of these than I do.
(Is that even possible?)

Peanut Butter Protein Shake Recipe
First, I made a short video to show you how I make the protein shake. (I’m just learning how to do videos so thanks so much for your patience!)
I hope you enjoyed the video. I realized after making it that I should probably have turned my camera horizontally. Note to self.
I’d love it if you’d follow my YouTube channel!
Below is the recipe. Don’t blink or you might miss it. It’s so quick and easy to make!
Peanut Butter Protein Shake Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 scoop whey protein powder OR vegan protein powder (I use vanilla, but chocolate would be delicious too.)
- 1 banana
- 1 cup ice
- 1 cup whole unpasteurized cow's milk or vegan milk
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter
Instructions
- Put everything in a Nutribullet or blender and blend it until it's smooth and creamy.
Notes
If you're following a keto eating plan, omit the banana and substitute lower-carb milk such as coconut milk due to the higher carb count. You may want to substitute a handful of frozen strawberries or blueberries instead. They're full of antioxidants but are fairly low in carbohydrates.
If you're strictly following a Paleo eating plan you can choose a different nut butter such as almond, cashew, or coconut butter. (Because peanut butter is a legume it's not considered Paleo-friendly.)
If you have a dairy allergy you can substitute your favorite plant-based milk - coconut, almond, cashew, etc.

Summary – Peanut Butter Protein Shake
As you might have guessed, this is perfect as a meal replacement or post-workout protein shake.
And if you’re living the keto lifestyle and looking for a keto peanut butter shake recipe, simply omit the banana as I do sometimes. Just know that it won’t be as creamy. But, you can thicken it up a bit, and still keep your carb intake low, by adding a few frozen strawberries or blueberries.
Also, if you’re practicing strict Paleo because peanut butter is a legume you’ll want to substitute another nut butter such as almond, cashew, or coconut.
