  3. Adjust Consistency

    If you wish a thicker shake, add a few ice cubes and blend again. For a thinner shake, add a little more almond milk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I make this shake ahead of time?

Yes, but it’s best enjoyed fresh. If making ahead, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and give it a quick stir before drinking.

Can I use a different sweetener instead of maple syrup?

Absolutely! You can substitute maple syrup with honey, agave nectar, or even a few pitted dates for sweetness.

Can I skip the banana?

Yes, you can skip the banana, but it adds creaminess. Consider using avocado or a plant-based yogurt for a similar texture.

What’s the best protein powder for this recipe?

Vanilla-flavored protein powders work best. You can use plant-based options like pea, hemp, or soy protein, or opt for whey if you’re not vegan.

Can I add other fruits?

Certainly! You can mix in other berries like blueberries or raspberries for added variety and nutrients.
