Banana Protein Shake

This Banana Protein Shake is like drinking an old-fashioned banana milkshake, but healthy! It's made with frozen bananas, yogurt, protein powder, nut butter, milk, warm spices, and vanilla. Great for post-workout fuel or on-the-go mornings. High protein, gluten free, vegan friendly.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen banana chunks
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt or skyr

  • 1 tablespoon natural almond butter

    Cup of Yum

Notes

  • SERVINGS - feel free to half recipe for one serving. 
  • BANANAS - I keep frozen banana chunks in freezer for smoothies. If you don't have frozen bananas, you may use fresh bananas and add 1 cup of ice if you'd like a thicker texture. Adjust liquid to desired consistency.
  • YOGURT - feel free to use vanilla yogurt if you prefer a sweeter shake, just note that carb and sugar count will change.
  • PROTEIN POWDER - nutrition information calculated with MRM's All Natural Vanilla Whey. Protein count will change depending on what you use.
  • STORAGE - leftover protein shake will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days. Blend once more just before enjoying.
