This Banana Protein Shake is a creamy, nutritious beverage perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout refuel. Made with plain unsweetened almond milk, full fat Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and a frozen banana, it offers a balanced mix of protein, healthy fats, and natural sweetness.

  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Shake Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup plain full fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 frozen banana
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Ice as needed

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Pour the unsweetened almond milk, plain full fat Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, frozen banana, and ground cinnamon into a blender.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients together on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the frozen banana is fully incorporated.
  3. Adjust Consistency: Check the thickness of the shake. If it is too thick, gradually add more almond milk in small amounts and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.

Notes

  • Using a frozen banana improves the shake’s texture by making it creamier and thicker, and reduces the need for ice which can dilute flavor.
  • Bananas can be pre-frozen in reusable silicone bags for easy storage and convenience.
  • If allergic to banana or prefer not to use it, substitute with any frozen fruit such as cherries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, avocado, pineapple, mangoes, raspberries, or a combination.
  • The Greek yogurt can be omitted or replaced with a plant-based yogurt such as coconut yogurt for a non-dairy or vegan-friendly version, though it adds creaminess and nutrients.
