My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard… okay, maybe not my milkshakes.

My biscuits, perhaps?

I think we can all agree that while try our hardest to enjoy this culinary diverse world we live in, in moderation, it is very easy to overindulge. When you love sweets as much as I do, it can be hard to say no. What’s a girl to do?

Make a smoothie that tastes like a milkshake. The prosecution rests, your Honor and I dub thee a “smooth-shake.”

Before we get to the smooth-shake, if you have a sensitive stomach, like me, protein powders can be very hard on your digestive system. I have tried many over the years and figured out whey and soy protein powders are just not for me. Luckily, I stumbled upon Orgain Protein Powder while at Costco and it has been a happy union ever since.

Ingredients:

-1.5 cups of unsweetened, vanilla almond milk

-1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (I used Orgain here)

-1 banana (or naner if you are like me)

-1/4 tsp of cinnamon (documented to have blood sugar stabilizing properties)

-1.5 to 2 cups of ice, depending on how thick you like your smoothies

Method:

Starting with your almond milk and finishing with your ice (because it will jam the blades if you add it before everything else) throw all of listed ingredients into the blender. I use my blender’s smoothie setting. Let her rip and finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon to make it feel special. I give you a smooth-shake!
