Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup orange juice (preferably fresh)
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest (optional for extra flavor)
- 1/2 to 1 cup ice
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Add almond milk, protein powder, orange juice, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and orange zest (if using) to your blender jar.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well combined. The texture should be thick but pourable.
- Adjust Consistency: If desired, add more ice for a thicker shake or a splash of milk to thin it out. Blend again briefly to mix.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy right away for the best refreshing and flavorful experience.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute plain Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- Add a scoop of collagen powder or ground flaxseed to increase nutritional benefits.
- Use frozen orange segments instead of juice for a richer, more intense orange flavor.
