Banana Protein Shake
Servings: 1
Frozen cauliflower is my secret for a thick, frosty banana protein shake, and you'll never taste it. Greek yogurt, whey protein and almond milk bring 38g of protein, with cinnamon and vanilla for a milkshake feel in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 ½ bananas sliced and frozen
- ½ cup cauliflower florets frozen
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 serving whey protein isolate
Instructions
- Pour the almond milk into a blender. Add the Greek yogurt, bananas and cauliflower and blend on high until smooth.
- Add the vanilla bean powder, cinnamon and protein powder and blend on low just to combine. Pour into a glass, top with banana slices if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Milk Swaps: Any unsweetened non-dairy milk works in place of the almond milk, or use water for a lighter shake. Add more for a thinner shake, less for a thicker one.
- Vegan Swap: Use a plain plant-based yogurt and a plant-based protein powder in place of the Greek yogurt and whey.
- Fiber Boost: Blend in 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed with the bananas; the shake will thicken slightly.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking.
