Ingredients
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 ½ cups crushed ice (or more as needed to thicken)
- ½ cup unsweetened vanilla cashew milk, almond milk, or regular milk of choice
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 chocolate graham cracker, crushed
- Optional garnish: whipped topping, additional graham cracker, or chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Combine protein powder, ice, milk, and salt in a high speed blender. Puree until thick and smooth.
- Add crushed graham cracker, pulse a few times just to combine, and serve immediately.
- Garnish with optional toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
If you prefer to skip the protein powder, you can substitute with Greek yogurt. Since the protein powder adds not only thickness, but also flavor and sweetness to the smoothie, you’ll want to use about 6-8 ounces of sweetened vanilla Greek yogurt. Alternatively, use plain Greek yogurt and add your own sweetener, to taste.
For purposes of calculating nutritional information, I used Quest Vanilla Milkshake protein powder in this recipe.
