Strawberry Cake Batter Protein Shake
| February 11, 2014 |
Lately I have been craving cake batter. Maybe it’s my lack of baking cupcakes … I usually bake cupcakes at least once a month so I guess I’m used to spoon-licking and have been missing it. I actually impulsively bought a cake batter protein powder.
But I’m impatient. So this morning I made my own cake batter shake.
I actually got my package in the mail later today and tried the protein powder I purchased for dessert and I like my Strawberry Cake Batter Protein Shake recipe better.
Strawberry Cupcake Batter Protein Shake
Macros: 4g Fat, 6g Carbs, 26g Protein
- 1 cup ice (or about 8 ice cubes)
- 1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 6 medium-sized strawberries
- 1/4 tsp butter extract
- 2 tsp stevia
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- Optional: whipped cream & sprinkles
Directions
Blend all the ingredients together. Pour into your favorite jar, mug, cup, or tumbler. This recipe should fill a venti size cup. If you don’t want to add the protein powder, add 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Optional: Top it off with whipped cream and sprinkles.
Note: Macros were calculated with a 25g protein scoop and without whipped cream and sprinkles.

Sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try it!
Is there a particular variety/brand of protein powder you recommend?
It depends on what you’re looking for. I love the taste of my Power Crunch Proto Whey (I have it in multiple flavors), but like I mentioned in my recent Valentine’s Day blog post, if you try to shake it in a blender bottle, it clumps, so you have to use a real blender. It’s great for things like this cake batter shake, but I need something that I can also mix with water at the gym or at work. My trainer recommends Gnarly Whey, which I haven’t tried but I trust her judgement. So I’ll be purchasing that brand next. If you are looking for a flavorless option to add to fruit smoothies, I like SunWarrior. It’s a plant-based vegan friendly protein. It’s not whey protein, which is what most trainers will recommend, but it’s still a great protein powder in my opinion.
Thanks for the reply! I appreciate the advice.
