Are bananas good for protein shakes?

Yes! I love using bananas in my protein shakes because they are great source of energy for your body. The mild flavor of a banana pairs well with both chocolate and vanilla protein powder and the banana will make your shake extra creamy! The banana also adds potassium and fiber.

I love freezing my extra bananas so I always have some on hand for smoothies.

And for protein powder I recommend the Kos Brand.

Can I make this banana protein smoothie with other types of milk?

Yes. I love to use almond milk but you use what works for you. Coconut milk can be a great option as well and regular milk is fine, too. You can even try a variance and see which type of milk you prefer best. 

Are smoothies breakfast food? 

Yes! A lot of people use recipes like this banana milkshake protein smoothie as a great way to kick off their mornings. This is because protein consumed in the morning can result in great energy throughout the rest of the day. 

I’ve also found that when I have something high in protein in the morning hours, I’m less likely to snack throughout the day as well.

What can you add to a smoothie for even more health benefits? 

While I think that this banana protein milkshake is pretty perfect as is, you can always add in more healthy ingredients as well. Some people like to toss in some greens to round out the smoothie or you can even put in a bit of flaxseeds as well. Just know that you may want to start by adding in smaller amounts as it will affect and change the overall flavor and taste.

I hope that you like this simple protein smoothie recipe! I think that one sip of this Banana Protein shake will have you stocking up on bananas to make this recipe happen more often!
