Say goodbye. This Paleo-friendly chocolate and banana shake tastes sinfully delicious, but is actually healthy for you. What a bargain. And I don\u2019t know about you, but I can have a shake around any meal. There\u2019s your protein breakfast shake, your green monster lunch smoothie, an afternoon or post-workout snack, or an evening treat. You catch my drift. The banana and chocolate flavors in this particular shake make a wonderful combination for any time of day. It is full of natural flavor and sweetness, and is a perfectly healthy substitute for the classic milkshake.<span id=\"more-1269\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1279 lazyloaded\" src=\"http:\/\/paleogrubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/paleoshake.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/paleogrubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/paleoshake.jpg 575w, http:\/\/paleogrubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/paleoshake-183x300.jpg 183w, http:\/\/paleogrubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/paleoshake-154x252.jpg 154w, http:\/\/paleogrubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/paleoshake-367x600.jpg 367w\" alt=\"Banana Chocolate Shake- I could drink one of these every morning! Love it.\" width=\"575\" height=\"940\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This recipe can be ready in 5 minutes. How\u2019s that for a quick pick-me-up? And you can easily double or even triple it to serve more. I highly recommend using frozen bananas (or berries, if you want to use those instead) instead of ice, because ice further dilutes the flavor.<\/p>\n<p>When adding water to the shake, remember that you can always add more. Start slow \u2013 depending on your preferences, the shake can be thinned out or velvety smooth. You can use coconut or almond milk, whichever you have on hand. I love using up leftover canned coconut milk from other recipes this way. Keep in mind that coconut milk adds its own flavor, while almond milk blends into the other flavors of the shake more.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1281 lazyloading\" src=\"http:\/\/paleogrubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/shakeingredients.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/paleogrubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/shakeingredients.jpg 575w, http:\/\/paleogrubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/shakeingredients-300x247.jpg 300w, http:\/\/paleogrubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/shakeingredients-305x252.jpg 305w\" alt=\"shake ingredients\" width=\"575\" height=\"475\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1280 lazyloading\" src=\"http:\/\/paleogrubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/proteinshake.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" srcset=\"http:\/\/paleogrubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/proteinshake.jpg 575w, http:\/\/paleogrubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/proteinshake-216x300.jpg 216w, http:\/\/paleogrubs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/proteinshake-433x600.jpg 433w\" alt=\"protein shake\" width=\"575\" height=\"796\" data-was-processed=\"true\" \/><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>You simply combine all of the ingredients in a blender \u2013 or large glass if you are using an immersion blender \u2013 until smooth.
