Salted Caramel Protein Shake
Servings: 1
This salted caramel protein shake tastes like the real thing thanks to Medjool dates, cashew butter and a pinch of sea salt, and a quarter cup of chickpeas makes it extra creamy. With protein powder it reaches about 31 grams of protein in one glass.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashew milk
- ¼ cup chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon cashew butter
- 2-3 Medjool dates pitted
- 2 teaspoon coconut sugar
- 1 cup ice
- 1 serving protein powder
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt, unrefined
Instructions
- Pour the cashew milk into a blender. Add the chickpeas, cashew butter, dates, coconut sugar, protein powder and salt.
- Add the ice and blend on high until smooth and frosty, 45 to 60 seconds. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Nut Butter Swaps: Almond butter or peanut butter works in place of the cashew butter.
- Lower Sugar: Skip the coconut sugar; the dates still sweeten the shake. If you like it sweeter, add another date or other natural sweeteners.
- Blender Tip: If your blender struggles with ice, leave it out and pour the shake over ice instead, or chill the blended shake for 30 minutes.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking, or re-blend with a few ice cubes to bring back the frosty texture.
