Ingredients

Shake Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½-1 cup ice (1 cup recommended)
  • 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. Add Ingredients to Blender: Place all ingredients except the sprinkles into a high-powered blender, ensuring the banana is frozen for optimal creaminess.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk or ice as needed to achieve your desired thickness.
  3. Stir in Sprinkles: Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles to maintain a fun texture, or pulse briefly if you prefer them slightly blended into the shake.
  4. Serve: Pour the shake into a glass, then top with additional rainbow sprinkles. For an extra indulgence, optionally add a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Notes

  • Use a high-powered blender for the best texture and smooth blending of ingredients.
  • Frozen banana helps to thicken the shake and add natural sweetness; if unavailable, add more ice for chill and texture.
  • Adjust ice quantity to customize thickness based on your preference.
  • Chia seeds add fiber and omega-3s but can be omitted if desired.
  • The almond and vanilla extracts enhance the cake batter flavor but can be adjusted or omitted according to taste.
  • This shake is best consumed immediately for optimal freshness and flavor.
