To Serve
- 1 serving whipped cream Optional garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Place the protein powder, milk, Greek yogurt, frozen banana (or ice), vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of sprinkles into a blender.
- Pulse the blender 3–4 times to break up the frozen banana or ice and to combine the powder with the yogurt.
- Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- If the shake is too thick, add a splash of milk and pulse to mix. If it’s too thin, add more ice or another small piece of frozen banana and blend briefly.
- Pour the milkshake into a glass. Top with whipped cream and extra sprinkles if desired.
- Enjoy right away for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
Use a frozen banana for creaminess. Adjust sweetness based on protein powder's taste. Chill the glass for an extra frosty presentation. Use a heavy-duty blender for the smoothest result.
