Some Tips from Steph!
- Make sure to use a good-tasting vegan protein powder; otherwise, you will not enjoy the shake!
- Add some maple syrup or Medjool dates for a sweeter version. If your protein powder is not sweet, you must add additional sweetener.
- Add in some frozen cauliflower for an additional veggie boost; you can’t taste it at all!
- Add one tablespoon of almond butter for a flavorful twist.
- Use frozen banana for the creamy texture. This not only thickens the shake but also adds natural sweetness to the shake.
- Use a good quality blender for a smooth and creamy shake.
- Don’t skip the lime zest! The lime zest adds a fragrant aroma and intensifies the lime flavor, taking this shake to the next level of deliciousness.
Substitutions/Variations
- Make it soy free! Instead of soy milk or coconut milk, you can use almond milk, cashew milk, or any other plant-based milk of your choice. Make sure your vegan protein is soy free!
- Use another type of yogurt. If you don’t have oat yogurt on hand, swap it for coconut yogurt, almond yogurt, or another vegan yogurt alternative.
- Can I make this without a banana? You can use extra plant milk, frozen cauliflower, cashews, or oats.
- Customize your Key Lime Pie Protein Shake by experimenting with different leafy greens like kale.
- Add some chia, flax, or hemp seeds for omegas, fiber, and extra protein!
