Ingredients
Scale
Shake Base
- 1 cup milk (of choice)
- 6 oz vanilla yogurt (or 1 banana)
- 1 scoop protein powder (30g)
Flavorings
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
- Sweetener of choice (to taste)
- Optional spoonful of almond butter
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the cold milk and vanilla yogurt (or add the frozen banana) into a blender along with the scoop of protein powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and sweetener according to your taste preferences.
- Blend Thoroughly: Blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If using almond butter, add it before blending to incorporate the nutty flavor.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the shake and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sweetener, then blend again briefly to mix.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the shake into a glass, optionally sprinkle with extra cinnamon or granola for added texture and flavor. Enjoy right away for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen banana instead of yogurt for a dairy-free and creamier shake.
- Adjust cinnamon to your preference for more or less spice.
- Sweetener amount varies depending on whether using sweetened or unsweetened protein powder and milk.
- Adding almond butter increases protein and healthy fats, enhancing the shake’s richness.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture, as the shake may thicken if left standing.
