Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cashew or almond milk
  • 1 cup frozen banana slices
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon lemon extract

Optional Toppings

  • Coconut whipped cream
  • Cookie or pie crust crumbs

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the cashew or almond milk, frozen banana slices, plant-based vanilla protein powder, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and lemon extract into a blender.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring the frozen banana breaks down evenly to create a thick texture.
  3. Serve and Garnish: Pour the shake into a glass. Optionally, top with coconut whipped cream and sprinkle cookie or pie crust crumbs over the top for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use frozen bananas to achieve a thick, creamy texture without ice.
  • Adjust lemon juice and zest to taste for desired tartness.
  • For a sweeter shake, consider adding a natural sweetener like maple syrup or honey.
  • The optional toppings add a dessert-like finish but can be omitted for a lighter shake.
  • Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest consistency.
