Ingredients

  • 1 banana frozen
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk see note
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder or one serving, per package recommendation
  • 2 teaspoons flaxseeds

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in blender and pulse on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until mixture is completely smooth and thick. Serve immediately.
    1 banana, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 2 scoops vanilla protein powder, 2 teaspoons flaxseeds

Notes

  • You can use vanilla or natural almond milk, but I do recommend unsweetened so that the smoothie is not, well, too sweet. Substitute the almond milk for dairy milk, soy milk, cashew milk, etc., if you prefer.
  • Two scoops is the standard serving size for my preferred protein powder, Orgain vegan vanilla. Everyone has a different protein powder they like; if yours uses larger scoops and therefore the recommended serving size is one scoop -- start with just one scoop in this shake!
