Vanilla Milkshake Protein Smoothie Recipe

This recipe is for a healthy milkshake-alternative protein smoothie with a strong vanilla flavor. It’s similar in consistency to a milkshake, but is actually healthy. Empty sugar-calories found in traditional milkshakes are not going to help you get fit or healthy.

This milkshake alternative will help you gain or maintain muscle as it had a large amount of protein and calories. It will also boost your immune system with vitamins C, E, A and selenium.

A large McDonals McCafé vanilla shake has 820 calories, 18g of protein, 23g of fat and 135g of carbs. Some of the main ingredients are sugar and corn syrup. A Burger King vanilla milk shake (20oz.) has 930 calories, with 17g of protein, 23g of fat and 163g of carbs. I did not see a list of ingredients on the Burger King website. By making your own milkshake alternative drink you are getting more healthy calories, more nutrition, and more protein. I love milkshakes, but I love the gains even more, that’s why I drink healthy alternatives.

Ingredients:

• 1 Vanilla Boost Plus
• 1/2 Cup Milk
• 1 Scoop Vanilla Protein
• 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
• 1 tbsp Almond Butter
• 1 tbsp Greek Yogurt
• 1/2 Cup Oats
• 1 Banana

Directions:

• If possible, grind the oats up separately before adding them to the blender. You should be able to do this in a coffee grinder if you own one.
• Add the ingredients into a blender. Try not to add the powder, such as the protein in first as it tends to clump to the bottom of the blender if you do that.
• Blend and say goodbye to unhealthy milkshakes forever.

Twists:

• Add ice cubes to make the shake cold like a true ice-cream milkshake.
• Try other flavors of Boost Plus and protein powder to create different flavored milkshake alternatives; chocolate, strawberry, etc.
