This vegan chocolate peanut butter protein shake is a creamy and delicious breakfast loaded with protein and yumminess! Perfect for breakfast, as a snack, or even for dinner when you are short on time (or protein!).
A vegan protein shake is an essential part of my morning routine. I make a lot of decisions throughout the day and get decision fatigue. By having the same thing to eat for breakfast every single day, I remove one of these decisions, making my life more efficient.
As a wildlife biologist, I innately care wildlife and therefore eat vegan as this diet has the lowest environmental impact (for more on this topic, read “5 Easy Changes to Your Diet to Help the Planet.”
It’s also the diet that agrees with me the most. When my health problems were at their worst, I tried every diet out there to see if it would help. For most of my life, I avoided meat and I thought maybe that could be a factor. However, it made no difference. In fact, I felt worse and gained weight on keto and paleo. Vegan makes me happiest!

I’ve tried A LOT of protein powders and Vega is one of my favorites. For this recipe, I use Vega Sport Premium Plant-Based Protein Powder (which you can get from Vitacost.com and other places over Amazon), but you can use others. I also have used and love Birdman Falcon Vegan Protein Powder and Orgain Organic Vegan Protein Powder.
There are several reasons for why I love Vega protein powder:

The right blender is SO IMPORTANT. Whenever I make my protein shake with a different blender – it just doesn’t turn out right. It always ends up too water-y or the ice doesn’t fully blend and there are ice chunks (no bueno).Â

This vegan chocolate peanut butter protein shake is a creamy and delicious breakfast loaded with protein and yumminess!
⬜  1 scoop chocolate protein powder such as Vega One chocolate protein powder*
⬜  2 Tablespoons peanut butter (or other nut butter! Sunbutter, almond butter, etc. all work)
⬜  Ice (1-2 handfuls)
⬜  Water or non-dairy milk such as almond, oat, or coconut milk
⬜  Salt to taste (this is key! Sounds weird, but it tastes so much better with salt)
⬜  Optional: 1 small Banana or 1/3-1/2 avocado for additional creaminess (this was not included in the original recipe or video below, but I highly recommend it! I put a banana in mine every day)
*You can use whatever protein powder you want, but the consistency of your drink will differ depending on the brand. You can also use vanilla flavored protein powder and add one serving of cocoa powder to make it chocolate. I also make this recipe without chocolate for a peanut butter shake!
