Ingredients

  • 2 cups ice cubes
  • ½ a cup of Almond Milk
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar Free Banana Cream Pudding Mix
  • 1 teaspoon of Vanilla
  • 1 medium banana sliced
  • Whipped Cream optional
  • 2 Vanilla Wafers optional

Instructions

  • Start by adding your ice, milk, protein, pudding mix, vanilla, and banana to a blender. 
  • Blend on high for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Pour into your glass and top with whip cream.
  • Crumble one wafer up and sprinkle on your whip cream. Add the remaining cookie to the top.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Using ripe bananas will add natural sweetness and a smoother texture to your shake.
  2. If you prefer a thicker shake, you can reduce the amount of almond milk. Conversely, if you prefer a thinner consistency, increase the almond milk or reduce the ice.
  3. I recommend using a frozen banana as it really enhances the creaminess and thickness of the shake without having to use extra ice (which can sometimes dilute the flavor).
  4. Nutritional facts were calculated without the optional whipped cream and vanilla wafers.
