Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 banana
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup of almond milk, 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 banana, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1/4 cup of raisins, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- In a blender, pour in the 1 cup of almond milk. This will serve as the liquid base for your shake.
- Add the 1/2 cup of rolled oats to the blender. The oats will provide a hearty texture and additional fiber to your shake.
- Peel and slice the 1/2 banana, then add it to the blender. The banana will add natural sweetness and creaminess to your shake.
- Next, add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder. This will boost the protein content of your shake, making it a great post-workout option.
- Pour in the 1/4 cup of raisins. These will add a chewy texture and a natural sweetness to the shake, reminiscent of oatmeal raisin cookies.
- Finally, sprinkle in the 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. This spice will enhance the flavor profile, giving your shake a warm, comforting taste.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until all ingredients are well combined and the shake is smooth.
- Once blended, taste the shake. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a little honey or maple syrup to your liking and blend again briefly.
- Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately. Optionally, you can top it with a few extra raisins or a sprinkle of cinnamon for presentation.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and nutritional value.
- For an extra creamy texture, freeze your banana before blending.
- Choose a vanilla protein powder with minimal artificial additives.
- If you prefer a thicker shake, add a few ice cubes during blending.
- For a dairy-free version, stick with almond milk or try coconut milk.
- Soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before blending to make them plumper and more flavorful.
- Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom to customize your shake.
- Clean your blender immediately after use to prevent protein powder from hardening.
- For meal prep, you can prepare dry ingredients in advance and store in a jar.
- If the shake is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
