Chocolate “Protein” Milkshake

2 tbsp cocoa powder (10g)
1 cup Mori-Nu tofu (Click for: Soy-Free Version) (240g)
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups milk of choice (480g) (Or less, for a thicker shake.)
sweetener of choice: such as 2-3 tbsp liquid sweetener or sugar, or stevia extract to taste
optional, for an even richer shake: 2 tbsp peanut butter or other nut butter, or 1 tbsp veg or coconut oil (If using the nut butter option, it will be even higher in protein!)

If you don’t have a blender, perhaps you could try using soft tofu and skipping the blending step, but I’ve not tried this. You can also try another type of tofu; however, Mori-Nu has less of an aftertaste—and my testers and I found that you can’t taste it at all in this recipe! As for the milk, Silk almondmilk works well, and I’m sure many other types of milk will also be good, but I can only vouch for the Silk because it’s what I’ve tried.

Combine everything in a blender, and blend until super-smooth.
