Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium banana, frozen
- 1 scoop unsweetened caramel-flavored protein powder
- 2 large Medjool dates, pitted
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5 cubes ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium almond butter
Instructions
Start by preparing all your ingredients. If your banana is not already frozen, slice it and freeze it beforehand for a thicker consistency.
In a blender, combine the unsweetened almond milk and frozen banana. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the unsweetened caramel-flavored protein powder, Medjool dates, vanilla extract, and chia seeds to the blender.
Blend again until the dates are fully incorporated and the milkshake is smooth.
Add ice cubes to the blender and continue blending until the milkshake reaches your desired thickness.
Finally, add the low-sodium almond butter and give it a quick blend just to mix it throughout.
Pour the milkshake into two glasses and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Optionally, you can garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a drizzle of melted almond butter on top.
