Steps to Make Chocolate Protein Shake

Chocolate-Banana Hummus Shake

If your love of chocolate has left you despairing of losing weight, help is at hand!

Recipe Summary Chocolate-Banana Hummus Shake

Hummus shakes are becoming increasingly popular, so I decided to make my own at home. Unlike traditional savory hummus with ingredients like salt, garlic, and lemon, this vegan and dairy-free shake is naturally sweetened with dates and is high in protein and fiber. And no one will be able to guess what's in it! Adjust the sweetness by adding more dates, if desired.

Ingredients | Chocolate Protein Shake

1 cup unsweetened vanilla-flavored almond milk

½ cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

4 pitted dates

1 medium frozen banana, quartered

2 tablespoons tahini

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Combine almond milk, chickpeas, dates, banana, tahini, cocoa powder, and cinnamon in a blender. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately.

If you don't have tahini, you may substitute almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter, although the flavor will be slightly different.

I have used both Deglet Noor dates and Medjool dates with great results. If using the latter, use 3, as they tend to be bigger.
