Ingredients

Shake Ingredients

  • 2 medium frozen bananas (sliced or 2 cups)
  • 1-3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk
  • 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon natural almond butter
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 5-6 ice cubes (optional)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Cocoa nibs
  • Sliced bananas
  • A drizzle of almond butter

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen bananas, unsweetened almond or cashew milk, vanilla Greek yogurt, natural almond butter, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and ice cubes into a high-powered blender.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth. If the shake is too thick, add about 1/4 cup more almond or cashew milk and blend again to achieve your desired consistency.
  3. Serve: Pour the blended shake evenly into two cups or mason jars.
  4. Add Toppings and Enjoy: Top your shake with your favorite additions like cocoa nibs, sliced bananas, or a drizzle of almond butter for extra texture and flavor. Then enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use frozen bananas for a thicker, creamier shake without needing to add ice.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or omitted for less sweetness.
  • Adjust the milk quantity based on how thick or thin you prefer your shake.
  • Use a high-quality vanilla protein powder to enhance flavor and protein content.
  • This shake is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; stir well before drinking.
