Bun Bar Protein Smoothie
This indulgent, high-protein shake mimics the classic maple-nut and chocolate flavors of a traditional Bun Bar candy while keeping it nutritious. It features a creamy base of almond butter and maple, blended to perfection for a satisfying post-workout treat.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 scoop chocolate whey or plant-based protein powder approx 30g
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk chilled
- 1 tbsp creamy almond butter natural, no added sugar
- 1 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup or pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup frozen riced cauliflower adds creaminess without flavor
- 1 tbsp crushed roasted peanuts unsalted
- 0.5 tsp maple extract for enhanced Bun Bar aroma
- 1 cup ice cubes adjust for desired thickness
Notes
To make this ahead of time, blend everything except the ice and peanuts, store in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours, and shake well before serving over ice. For a thicker, spoonable smoothie bowl version, reduce almond milk to 1/2 cup.
