  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Shake Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup raw cashews
  • 4 dates, pitted
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 3/4 cup ice cubes
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (e.g., Malk brand)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 whole frozen banana

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather 1/2 cup of raw cashews, 4 pitted dates, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 3/4 cup ice cubes, 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 whole frozen banana to ensure everything is ready for blending.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Add all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth. Ensure no chunks of date or cashews remain to achieve a creamy texture.
  3. Serve Immediately: Pour the shake into glasses and serve right away for the best fresh taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute raw cashews with raw almonds or walnuts for a different nutty flavor.
  • If you prefer a thinner shake, add more almond milk as needed.
  • Use frozen banana to achieve a cold, creamy texture without additional ice.
  • For a vegan version, ensure the protein powder is plant-based.
  • This shake is best consumed immediately but can be stored slightly chilled for up to 24 hours.
