Description

A quick and delicious Cinnamon Roll Protein Shake that blends the cozy flavors of cinnamon with creamy protein-packed ingredients, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or post-workout boost.


Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice (e.g., almond, oat, dairy)
  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 6 oz vanilla Greek yogurt or 1 ripe banana

Flavorings

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Sweetener of choice, to taste (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter or cashew butter (optional)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all the base ingredients—milk, vanilla protein powder, and either vanilla Greek yogurt or a ripe banana—into a blender.
  2. Add Flavor and Extras: Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and salt, then add almond butter or cashew butter if using, for extra creaminess and flavor.
  3. Blend: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Adjust Sweetness: Taste your shake and add your preferred sweetener if needed. Blend briefly again to mix.
  5. Serve: Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Use your preferred type of milk to suit dietary needs or flavor preferences.
  • The banana can be swapped with Greek yogurt for a thicker texture or creamier taste.
  • Almond or cashew butter adds healthy fats and richness but can be omitted for a lighter shake.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste; more cinnamon intensifies the signature flavor.
  • Use a sweetener that fits your diet, such as honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute.
  • Consumable immediately to enjoy optimal texture and flavor; leftovers can be refrigerated but may thicken.
