Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder approximately 30g
- 0.25 cup liquid egg whites pasteurized for safety; adds fluffiness
- 1 tbsp almond butter adds richness and healthy fats
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon plus extra for garnish
- 0.25 tsp maple extract essential for the French toast flavor
- 1 tsp vanilla extract pure extract preferred
- 1 tbsp rolled oats optional, for a thicker texture
- 1 cup ice cubes adjust for desired thickness
Notes
To make this ahead of time, blend all ingredients except ice and store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking. If you prefer a thicker, milkshake-like consistency, use a frozen banana instead of the oats. For a vegan version, substitute the egg whites with 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed and use a plant-based vanilla protein powder.
