Hey there! This is Allie from Pimp My Protein Shake, a blog obsessed with homemade blended protein shakes. Does that sound a bit familiar? That’s why I’m so excited to guest post on The Blender Diaries and give you the recipe for the Cralmondberry Protein Shake!
The holidays may be over, but I still have a freezer full of cranberries. Loaded with phytochemicals and antioxidants, the low-glycemic cranberry is a fruit that shouldn’t be put away with the ornaments as soon as you’re sick of holiday carols…
As always with my shakes, the measurements are approximate and adjust to taste.
- 1/2 cup washed, frozen cranberries
- 1 serving of vanilla protein powder
- Almond flavoring: a splash of sugar-free almond syrup, sugar-free Almond Roca syrup or about 1 tsp almond extract
- Stevia extract if needed for additional sweetness
- Liquid: Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze, milk or non-dairy milk – just enough to blend if you want a thick shake
- 5-10 ice cubes
- Optional: 1/4 tsp guar gum plus 1/8 tsp xanthan gum to help thicken and emulsify the shake
Blend all ingredients and adjust ice cubes and liquid to desired thickness. Enjoy!
That sounds tasty and it LOOKS so pretty! I love unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze. It’s a great addition to any smoothie.
The best way to do this is with a protein shake. Protein shakes are quick and easy to make and can be consumed multiple times a day to help give you that protein boost.
