Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and slice the 1/2 banana into small pieces for easier blending.
- Pour 1 cup of almond milk and 1/2 cup of water into your blender. These liquids will help blend the ingredients smoothly.
- Add one scoop of whey protein powder into the blender.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to your mixture.
- Add the banana slices to the blender.
- Place the lid securely on the blender and blend on high for about 30-45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- If the shake is too thick, you can add a little more water or almond milk to reach your desired consistency. Blend again briefly if you add more liquid.
- Pour the shake into a glass. You can enjoy it immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for a bit if you prefer a colder shake.
- For added nutrition, consider tossing in a handful of spinach or a tablespoon of chia seeds before blending.
- If you prefer a sweeter shake, add a drizzle of honey or a few pitted dates before blending.
Tips:
- Use a ripe banana to enhance the natural sweetness of the shake.
- For a thicker consistency, add a few ice cubes or use frozen banana slices.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding a natural sweetener like honey or stevia if desired.
- Experiment with different types of milk (e.g., oat milk, soy milk) for varied flavor and nutritional profiles.
- Blend the ingredients on a high-speed blender to ensure a smooth, creamy consistency.
