This creamy shake blends milk, protein powder, cinnamon, and yogurt or banana to create a smooth, satisfying drink reminiscent of the classic cinnamon roll taste.

Ingredients

Shake Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 scoop protein powder (30g)
  • 6 oz vanilla yogurt or 1 banana
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • Sweetener of choice, to taste
  • Optional: 1 spoonful almond butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather cold milk and either 6 oz vanilla yogurt or one banana (frozen for a thicker texture). Having cold ingredients helps create a refreshing shake.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the milk, protein powder, yogurt or banana, ground cinnamon, salt, sweetener, and optional almond butter into a blender.
  3. Blend to Smooth: Blend all ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring an even flavor and texture.
  4. Adjust Sweetness: Taste your shake and add more sweetener if needed, depending on your protein powder and milk sweetness levels as well as personal preference.
  5. Serve Immediately: Pour the shake into a glass and optionally top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and some granola for crunch. Enjoy right away for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat for a dairy-free option.
  • If you prefer a thicker shake, use frozen banana rather than yogurt or vice versa for more creaminess.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste; add more for a stronger cinnamon roll flavor.
  • Almond butter is optional but adds healthy fats and richness.
  • Use a sweetener that fits your dietary needs, such as honey, maple syrup, stevia, or a sugar-free alternative.
  • Serve immediately as the shake can separate if left to sit.
