Description

This Cinnamon Roll Protein Shake is a delicious and nutritious blend that mimics the comforting flavors of a classic cinnamon roll while providing a high-protein boost. Perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout refuel, this shake combines milk, vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt or banana, cinnamon, and optional nut butter for a creamy, flavorful treat.


Ingredients

Main 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
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Optional Ingredients

  • Sweetener of choice, to taste (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter or cashew butter (optional)


Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Add all ingredients into a blender, including milk, protein powder, Greek yogurt or banana, cinnamon, salt, and optional nut butter or sweetener.
  2. Blend: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined.
  3. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the shake and add your preferred sweetener if desired, then blend briefly again to mix.
  4. Serve: Pour the cinnamon roll protein shake into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute Greek yogurt with a banana to make the shake dairy-free.
  • Choose plant-based milk like almond or oat milk to keep this shake vegan.
  • Adjust cinnamon amount for more or less intensity according to your taste.
  • Adding nut butter increases protein and healthy fats for added satiety.
  • Sweetener is optional; natural sweetness from banana or vanilla protein powder might be sufficient.
  • Consume immediately after preparation to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
