Instructions

Add the almond milk, vanilla protein powder, frozen banana, almond butter, frozen mixed berries, ice cubes, and vanilla extract to a blender.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides if needed to ensure even blending.
Check the texture and sweetness. Add a little more almond milk if the shake is too thick for your liking and blend again briefly.
Pour into a large glass and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Tips

Use unsweetened almond milk and vanilla protein powder to highlight the natural almond and vanilla flavors without extra sugar.
For a dairy-free version, ensure protein powder is plant-based and use almond butter without added dairy.
