Instructions

Place milk or soy milk in the blender.
Add vanilla whey protein powder, peeled frozen banana, mixed berries, vanilla bean paste, and ice cubes.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. If necessary, scrape down the sides and blend again to ensure even mixing.
Pour the shake into a tall glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use vanilla bean paste for a richer, naturally intense vanilla flavor instead of extract.
For a thicker shake, add more frozen banana or reduce the milk slightly.
