Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 scoops Vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 large Frozen banana
- 0.5 cup Ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 0.5 cup Vanilla ice cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
Instructions
Start by gathering all the ingredients to ensure you have everything you need for the milkshake.
In a blender, combine the two scoops of vanilla protein powder and one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Add 1.5 cups of unsweetened almond milk and 0.5 cup of Greek yogurt to the blender. These will be your base liquids and will provide a creamy texture.
Peel and slice the frozen banana into manageable chunks and add to the blender. This adds natural sweetness and creaminess without the need for additional sugar.
Add 0.5 cup of ice cubes to the blender to give the milkshake a refreshing chill and texture.
If you prefer a sweeter milkshake, add one tablespoon of honey. This step is optional depending on your taste preference and dietary needs.
For an extra creamy milkshake, optionally add 0.5 cup of vanilla ice cream. This will increase the richness and dessert-like flavor.
Secure the lid on the blender and blend all ingredients on high for 30-45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
Check the consistency; if it is too thick, you can add more almond milk in small increments. Blend again if necessary.
Pour the milkshake into two tall glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a vanilla bean, if desired.
