This makes the process smooth and easy. You will need: - 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice) - 1 scoop cookies and cream protein powder - 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt - 1 frozen banana - 4 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), plus extra for garnish - 1 tablespoon almond butter (optional for extra creaminess) - Ice cubes (as needed for desired thickness) - Whipped cream, for topping (optional) Next, measure out each ingredient. Make sure your banana is frozen. This gives the shake a nice chill and thick texture. Break the chocolate cookies into smaller pieces. This helps them blend better. Now, it’s time to blend! In your blender, add the almond milk first. Then, add the cookies and cream protein powder, Greek yogurt, frozen banana, and the chocolate cookies. If you want a creamier shake, add the almond butter too. Blend everything on high until it is smooth. This should take about 30 seconds. If you want a thicker shake, add ice cubes. Blend longer to mix everything well. If it’s too thick, add a bit more milk and blend again. You can control how thick your milkshake is. If you like it thick, add more ice cubes. Blend for a longer time. If you prefer it thinner, add less ice and more milk. Always taste your milkshake. You can adjust the sweetness by adding a small amount of honey or maple syrup if you like. Once you get the thickness you want, pour the milkshake into a tall glass. Top it with whipped cream and some chopped cookies for a fun touch. Enjoy your delicious protein cookies and cream milkshake! To boost the flavor of your milkshake, you can try a few tricks. First, use a ripe banana. It adds natural sweetness and creaminess. You can also add a pinch of salt. This small amount can enhance the taste of the chocolate. If you want more cookie flavor, blend in an extra cookie or two. This will give your shake a bolder taste. Making this milkshake dairy-free is simple. Just replace Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt. You can also use coconut yogurt for a tropical twist. For the milk, almond milk works great, but soy or oat milk are good options too. These swaps keep the milkshake creamy without dairy. Sweetness can vary from person to person. If you want a sweeter shake, add honey or maple syrup. Start with a small amount, about a teaspoon. Blend, then taste. You can always add more if needed. If you find it too sweet, balance it out with a little more almond milk. This way, you can get the perfect sweetness for your taste buds. {{image_2}} You can switch up the protein powder for fun. Try vanilla or chocolate flavors. Each change will give your milkshake a new taste. If you want a fruity twist, use strawberry protein powder. It adds a nice touch and pairs well with the banana. You can use different cookies for variety. Instead of chocolate sandwich cookies, try peanut butter cookies. They will give your shake a unique flavor. You can also use any favorite cookie. Just chop them up and blend them in. This way, you can make a new treat each time. Adding fruits is a great way to mix things up. You can toss in berries, like strawberries or blueberries. They add natural sweetness and a fresh taste. Another option is to add a scoop of spinach for some greens. You won't taste it, but it boosts nutrition. You can also use nut butter for creaminess or an extra protein boost. If you have leftover milkshake, pour it into a sealed container. I recommend using a glass jar or a plastic bottle. Make sure the lid fits tightly. Store it in the fridge for up to two days. Shake it well before drinking again. This helps mix the ingredients that may have settled. You can enjoy leftover ingredients in other tasty ways. For example, if you have extra almond milk, try it in your cereal or oatmeal. Leftover Greek yogurt is great in smoothies or on pancakes. You can also save remaining chocolate sandwich cookies for a fun dessert later. To keep your milkshake fresh, use cold ingredients. Always chill your almond milk and Greek yogurt in the fridge. Freeze your bananas ahead of time for the best texture. If you want to make the milkshake thicker, add ice cubes right before blending. This helps keep it cold and fresh. Yes, you can use any milk you like. Almond milk works well, but try oat, soy, or coconut milk too. Each type adds its own flavor. If you want creaminess, whole milk is a great choice. Just remember, your milk affects the taste and texture. To make this milkshake vegan, swap out Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt. Choose almond milk or oat milk instead of cow's milk. Also, use vegan cookies like Oreos. This way, you can enjoy a tasty milkshake that fits a vegan diet. The best cookies for this recipe are chocolate sandwich cookies. Oreos are popular and easy to find. You can also use other chocolate cookies, like Joe-Joe’s or chocolate-covered graham crackers. The key is to pick cookies that crush well and mix into the shake.
