Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 grams Vanilla protein powder
- 240 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 medium-sized Frozen banana
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 5 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional for sweetness)
Instructions
Start by adding 240 milliliters of unsweetened almond milk to a blender. This will be the base of your shake, providing a creamy texture without the additional calories of regular milk.
Add 30 grams of vanilla protein powder into the blender. This is the primary source of protein in the shake, helping to meet your dietary protein requirements.
Spoon in 100 grams of Greek yogurt. The yogurt not only contributes to the protein content but also adds creaminess and a slight tang to the shake.
Peel a medium-sized frozen banana and add it to the blender. The frozen banana contributes natural sweetness and thickness to the shake.
Pour in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. This enhances the vanilla flavor and complements the other ingredients.
Toss in 5 pieces of ice cubes. The ice will blend to give the shake a refreshing chill and a frothy texture.
For additional sweetness, add 1 tablespoon of honey if desired. This step is optional and can be adjusted according to your taste preference.
Place the lid on your blender and blend all the ingredients until smooth. This usually takes about 30 to 60 seconds depending on the blender's power.
Once the shake is smooth and well-blended, pour it into a glass. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
