Instructions

Combine Ingredients: Add almond milk, vanilla protein powder, orange juice, frozen banana, vanilla extract, ice cubes, and optional orange zest to a blender.
Blend: Blend on high speed for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Adjust Consistency and Sweetness: Taste your shake and add more banana for sweetness or a splash of milk if you desire a thinner consistency. Blend briefly again if needed.
Serve: Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Freeze orange juice in ice cube trays ahead of time and use these orange ice cubes instead of regular ice for a thicker and tangier shake.
Add a spoonful of Greek yogurt to boost protein content and increase creaminess if desired.
