Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

- Pinch of sea salt (trust us)
- Optional: a dash of vanilla extract or stevia if you want it sweeter
