This Cake Batter Protein Shake is a delicious and nutritious treat blending the sweet flavors of cake batter with the benefits of protein. Perfect as a quick breakfast or post-workout snack, it combines almond milk, frozen banana, vanilla protein powder, and a hint of almond extract for a creamy, indulgent shake with colorful sprinkles to brighten your day.

Ingredients

Shake Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½-1 cup ice (1 cup used)
  • ½ frozen banana
  • 1 scoop vanilla or cake batter protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon cashew butter
  • ½ tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon rainbow sprinkles (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients except the rainbow sprinkles into a high-powered blender. This ensures all flavors and textures blend evenly.
  2. Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy. If the shake is too thick, add additional almond milk or ice to achieve your preferred consistency.
  3. Add Sprinkles: Stir in the rainbow sprinkles gently, or pulse briefly in the blender if you prefer them slightly incorporated into the shake.
  4. Serve: Pour the shake into a glass and top with extra rainbow sprinkles for a fun, colorful finish. Optionally, add a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.

Notes

  • Use frozen banana for a creamier texture and natural sweetness.
  • Adjust ice quantity to make the shake thicker or thinner.
  • For a vegan option, ensure protein powder is plant-based and use vegan whipped cream if desired.
  • Chia seeds add fiber and omega-3s but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Add more vanilla or almond extract to intensify flavor.
