Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 2 scoops vegan caramel protein powder
- 1 large frozen banana
- 2 pitted medjool dates
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 6 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Start by gathering all your ingredients to ensure they're prepared and ready for blending.
In a high-speed blender, add 1.5 cups of unsweetened almond milk. This will serve as the base liquid for your shake.
Add 2 scoops of vegan caramel protein powder to the blender for a rich protein boost with caramel flavor.
Peel and break 1 large frozen banana into chunks and add it to the blender. This will provide natural sweetness and creaminess.
Pit and add 2 medjool dates to the blender for added natural caramel sweetness and a thicker texture.
Add 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor of your shake.
Include a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness and enhance the caramel flavor profile.
Add 6 ice cubes into the blender to chill the shake and make it refreshingly cold.
Blend all the ingredients on high speed for about 30 to 60 seconds until smooth and creamy. The shake should have no chunks and a homogenous texture.
Pour the vegan caramel protein shake into two serving glasses.
Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
