method

Pour the almond milk into the blender, add the protein powder, hazelnut butter and cocoa.
Add the ice. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, until completely smooth.
Taste and adjust: a few more ice cubes for thicker, a splash more liquid for thinner. Drink cold.

chef's tips

No hazelnut butter? Almond butter works, you'll just lose a little of the flavor.
Use a protein powder with no added sugar. It is the difference between a few grams of carbs per scoop and a lot more.
