A delicious and nutritious Cinnamon Roll Protein Shake packed with over 45 grams of protein, perfect for a post-workout boost or a meal replacement.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (preferably whey or plant-based)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 medium banana
- 1 tablespoon rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- Ice cubes (as desired for thickness)
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the almond milk, protein powder, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, banana, rolled oats, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup if using.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender for a thicker consistency.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds.
- Taste the shake and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup.
- Pour into a glass and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top for garnish.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, use frozen banana instead of fresh.
- You can also add a tablespoon of nut butter for extra flavor and healthy fats.
- If you want to make it a meal replacement, consider adding a handful of spinach or kale for added nutrients without altering the flavor significantly.
