Recipe for a Vegan Eggnog Protein Shake:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
- 1 ripe banana, frozen
- 1/2 cup silken tofu (for creaminess and protein)
- 1 scoop vegan vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or any other sweetener, to taste
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Make sure the banana is peeled and frozen in advance. If you haven’t frozen the banana, you can add some ice cubes later to make the shake cold.
- Blend: In a blender, combine the almond milk, frozen banana, silken tofu, vegan vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, you can add more almond milk, a little at a time, until you reach your desired thickness.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the shake and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup if needed. Blend again to combine.
- Serve: Pour the vegan eggnog protein shake into a glass. Optionally, you can sprinkle a bit of extra cinnamon or nutmeg on top for garnish.
- Enjoy: Sip and enjoy your delicious and nutritious Vegan Eggnog Protein Shake!
Feel free to customize this recipe based on your preferences. You can also experiment with additional ingredients such as a dash of coconut milk, a pinch of cardamom, or even a splash of rum extract for a more traditional eggnog flavor.
