Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup protein powder vanilla flavored
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup ice

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients: protein powder, unsweetened almond milk, and ice. Having everything ready makes the blending process seamless and quick.
  2. In your blender, add 1/4 cup of protein powder. This is where the magic begins. As the blender whirs, the powder will combine with the other ingredients, creating a creamy consistency.
  3. Next, pour in 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. The milk balances the thickness of the protein powder, making the shake enjoyable to sip.
  4. Now, add your 1/4 cup of ice. This step is crucial, especially on a hot day. The ice will chill your shake and create that refreshing cold drink you crave.
  5. Blend everything on high speed for about thirty seconds or until it reaches your desired smoothness.
  6. Once blended, taste your shake. This is the perfect moment to assess if you want to add any additional mix-ins.
  7. Pour the finished Protein Shake into a glass or a protein shaker. The texture should be smooth, with no lumps left from the protein powder.
  8. Enjoy your shake immediately! This is the best time to indulge in the creamy flavors and refreshing coldness you’ve created.

Notes

  • Storage: If you have leftovers, store your shake in a sealed container in the fridge for up to one day. Just give it a good stir before enjoying it again.
  • Freezing: You can freeze your shake in ice cube trays. Blend these cubes with almond milk later for a refreshing treat.
  • Pairing: Enjoy your shake with a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit for a balanced snack.
  • Flavor variations: Experiment with adding cocoa powder, peanut butter, or even spinach for a nutritional boost without compromising flavor.
  • Meal prep: Prepare your ingredients in advance. Portion out the protein powder and almond milk, so it’s ready to blend whenever you are!
  • Serving suggestions: Serve your shake in a tall glass with a straw for a fun experience.
