Equipment
- Blender
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Tall glass
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder see notes
- 3/4 cup milk see notes
- 3 tablespoons vanilla ice cream or low-fat ice cream or frozen yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Add the vanilla protein powder, milk, vanilla ice cream (or low-fat ice cream/frozen yogurt), vanilla extract, and ice cubes to a blender.
- Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds depending on your blender.

Notes
- Use any protein powder of choice.
- Unsweetened almond milk was used here; cow's milk adds ~6–7 g extra protein.
- Protein-enriched milks (e.g., Fairlife) add ~10–11 g extra protein.
- For a chocolate version, use chocolate protein powder and add 1 teaspoon cocoa powder.
- For a strawberry version, add 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries.
