This vanilla almond protein smoothie tastes like cake batter.
Every now and again I make something that’s so darn good I can hardly believe it’s good for me. This is one of those times. Definitely one of those times.
This healthy protein smoothie tastes like vanilla cake batter and is perfect for either breakfast or a post-workout snack.
The flavor will depend on the brand and type of protein powder and other ingredients that you use, so I will give you a photo of what I use below. In general, always look for high-quality and mindfully sourced ingredients without artificial colors, flavors or fillers. I always use vegan pea protein, too.
I like this vegan vanilla protein drink from USANA (click here to use my link for 10% off) and I like the Thorne whey protein powder (I get it on Thrive Market, here’s my partner link for 40% off your first purchase.)

Where can I find the nutritional breakdown for your shakes? They look awesome, but I’m tracking my macros as part of a strict keto diet. Thanks for your help, and I’m looking forward to trying your smoothies.
