This Banana Protein Shake is like drinking an old-fashioned banana milkshake, but healthy! It's made with frozen bananas, yogurt, protein powder, nut butter, milk, warm spices, and vanilla. Great for post-workout fuel or on-the-go mornings. High protein, gluten free, vegan friendly.

2 cups frozen banana chunks
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt or Skyr

1 tablespoon natural almond butter
1/2 tablespoon raw honey
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Notes

SERVINGS - feel free to half recipe for one serving.

BANANAS - I keep frozen banana chunks in freezer for smoothies. If you don't have frozen bananas, you may use fresh bananas and add 1 cup of ice if you'd like a thicker texture. Adjust liquid to desired consistency.

YOGURT - feel free to use vanilla yogurt if you prefer a sweeter shake, just note that carb and sugar count will change.

PROTEIN POWDER - Protein count will change depending on what you use. My favorite simple protein powder is Equip Foods. Use code FITMITTEN to save 15%.

STORAGE - leftover protein shake will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days. Blend once more just before enjoying.
