Description
This thick and creamy birthday cake–style protein shake comes together in about five minutes and delivers a satisfying protein boost that keeps hunger away—while tasting shockingly close to cake batter straight from the bowl. It’s indulgent, filling, and feels like a treat you didn’t have to “earn.”
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe banana, frozen solid
- 2 cups ice cubes
- ½ cup milk of choice
- 1 scoop vanilla-flavored protein powder
- 2 tablespoons oat flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla pudding mix
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1–2 teaspoons rainbow sprinkles
- ¼ cup (or more) birthday cake–style granola
Instructions
- Add the frozen banana, ice, milk, protein powder, oat flour, pudding mix, vanilla extract, and almond extract to a high-speed blender.
- Blend on low to start, then gradually increase to high speed. Let it run for several minutes until the mixture turns ultra-smooth, thick, and milkshake-like.
- Gently stir in the sprinkles and about half of the granola so you keep that crunchy texture intact.
- Pour into a glass and finish with the remaining granola and extra sprinkles if you’re feeling festive. Drink right away for best texture.
Notes
No protein powder? Replace it with ⅔ cup vanilla Greek yogurt and reduce the milk to ¼ cup. The shake will still be thick, creamy, and cake-batter delicious—just slightly less fluffy.
