Madeleine Protein Smoothie
This luxurious protein shake captures the delicate buttery, lemon-zest, and vanilla notes of a classic French Madeleine cookie using healthy, whole-food ingredients. It is a creamy, high-protein breakfast or post-workout treat that feels like a gourmet pastry in a glass.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 scoop Vanilla Whey or Plant-Based Protein Powder High quality for best flavor
- 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk Or milk of choice
- 0.25 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese Provides the buttery richness and extra protein
- 1 tsp Lemon Zest Freshly grated
- 0.5 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 tsp Almond Extract Essential for the authentic cookie flavor
- 1 tbsp Ground Flaxseed For thickness and fiber
- 0.5 cup Ice Cubes Adjust for desired thickness
- 1 tsp Honey or Stevia Optional, to taste
Notes
For a thicker, more 'cake-like' texture, add 2 tablespoons of rolled oats before blending. To make this vegan, use a plant-based vanilla protein and substitute the cottage cheese with 1/4 cup of silken tofu. This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in an airtight thermos for up to 4 hours.
