Birthday Cake Batter Shake (Healthier!)
A delicious shake that tastes like vanilla cake batter, but is made with simple, healthy ingredients! Plus it has about 13 grams protein.
Servings: 1 large
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup soy milk
- 1 large very ripe banana (frozen recommended)
- 2 Tbsp. almond butter
- 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp. pure almond extract
For serving (optional):
- Dairy-free whipped cream
- Vegan rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Blend the shake: Add all ingredients to a small high-speed blender. (I use a Nutribullet which works great.) Blend for about 20 seconds until smooth.
- Optional toppings: Transfer shake to a serving glass and top with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles if you wish. (Or just stir in sprinkles after blending for a "Funfetti" shake!)
Notes
More protein: Add a small scoop of vanilla protein powder.
Thickness: This shake is about medium thickness. For a thicker, richer smoothie, use an extra-large frozen banana or slightly less milk. For a thinner smoothie, use fresh banana or slightly more milk.
For refined oil-free: Don't include the optional toppings, or ensure they're oil-free.
Estimated nutritional content: This does not include the optional whipped cream or sprinkles.
Yield: Recipe makes about 1.5 heaping cups.
