Amazing Banana Vanilla Protein Shake


As we all know, maintaining healthy eating goals can be challenging. Moderation is always key but so is a great taste. How many times have you opted for the "healthier" choice and been disappointed with the taste and texture? I cannot even begin to count the times I have had that experience especially when it comes to protein drinks. Some are just nasty - loaded with a granular texture and a wicked chalky aftertaste. 

This recipe for a Banana Vanilla Protein Shake puts prepackaged ones to shame.

A protein shake recipe on a baking blog?  I know, I get the disconnect but you see usually I would have posted a recipe like this on my other blog: A Baker's Journey on Low Carb but it isn't low carb given the banana ingredient.  

This recipe is so good it's not hard to share it with all your friends. After you try it you will agree!

This shake takes just a few minutes to make.  It comes together in a snap in the blender. The ingredients are pretty common too. I use Stevia extract but this may not be a staple in everyone's kitchen but if you have it, use it. It adds a nice sweetness to this shake.

I prefer almond milk but you can use water in this recipe, coconut milk or 4% cow's milk. I would recommend that you cut the banana's into small pieces and increase the crushed ice to retain the right consistency. Feel free to throw in some fresh strawberries & blueberries too or even a tbsp of peanut butter!

Now if you are ready, let's get blending!

RECIPE:

Things You Will Need!!! 

1 cup of milk 
1 ripe medium banana
1/2 cup to 1 cup crushed ice depending on how thick you like your shakes
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Dash of ground nutmeg

BLEND everything in your blender until somewhat smooth but still has a nice frosty consistency
