Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free caramel syrup
- 1 scoop vanilla plant-based protein powder
- 1 medium frozen banana
- 5 units ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Begin by preparing all the ingredients and ensuring the banana is frozen. This will give your protein shake a creamy texture.
In a high-speed blender, add 1.5 cups of unsweetened almond milk. It provides a creamy, dairy-free base for the shake.
Add 2 tablespoons of dairy-free caramel syrup. This will infuse your shake with a delicious caramel flavor.
Include 1 scoop of vanilla plant-based protein powder for an extra boost of protein. Ensure it’s a variety that complements the caramel flavor.
Peel and add 1 medium-sized frozen banana to the blender. The banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess to the shake.
Add 5 ice cubes to the blender to make the shake refreshingly cold and frothy.
Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, which help to thicken the shake and provide additional nutrients.
Add 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor profile of the shake.
Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Check the consistency. If you prefer it thicker, add more frozen banana or ice cubes. For a thinner shake, add a bit more almond milk.
Once the desired consistency is achieved, pour the shake into two serving glasses.
Enjoy your delicious Dairy-Free Caramel Protein Shake immediately for the best flavor and texture.
