Description
Fruit-Free “Fake Out” Shakes are a salad in milkshake form. Low-sugar shakes that taste like dessert but are packed with veg and protein!
Ingredients
Fruit Free “Fake Out” Shake
- 1 – 2 cup + unsweetened almond milk
- 1 scoop protein powder (optional but recommended)
- 1 TBSP nut butter or 1 TBPS peanut powder
- 2 cups steamed and frozen vegetables: cauliflower, broccoli stems, green zucchini & sweet potato (I like to do 1/2 cup each cauliflower, zucchini, sweet potato, and broccoli stems but any mixture works!
Variations
- Peanut Butter: Add 1 TBPS powdered peanut butter
- Cinnamon: Add heavy dash of cinnamon
- Vanilla: Use vanilla protein powder + 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Chocolate: Use chocolate protein powder + 1 TBPS cacao powder
- Cacao Chip: Use chocolate protein powder + 1 TBPS cacao powder + 1 TBPS cacao nibs
- Green Monster: Sub 1/4 – 1/2 avocado for nut butter + giant handful of spinach
For Serving
- chocolate tahini or peanut butter drizzle
- superfood crumble
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender in the order listed.
- Pulse everything until well it’s combined and creamy, adding more almond milk to reach desired consistency. You want the shakes to be thick but smooth and pourable.
- Add any variation items to the blender and blend again until well combined.
- Serve the shakes in mason jars topped with superfood crumble and optional drizzle.
- Enjoy immediately!
Notes
While any variation of frozen veg works, I always recommend using 1/2 cup steamed and frozen sweet potato or Japanese yams because it adds creaminess and most importantly, sweetness!
