Ingredients for the high protein drink
For your own high protein cinnamon roll milkshake, you need milk of c،ice, ground cinnamon, yogurt or banana, sweetener, a pinch of salt, optional nut ،er, optional protein powder, and toppings as desired.
To create the highest protein shake, look for Greek yogurt. I like Kite Hill almond milk Greek yogurt, which has 15 grams of protein per serving.
For even more protein, add a s،ful of almond ،er or cashew ،er.
Skipping the protein powder will of course lower the protein count in the nutrition facts. However, the resulting smoothie is still equally delicious. So if protein is not your main concern or you do not have any powder on hand, feel free to skip it.
Salt adds depth of flavor and balances out the sweetness. Just a pinch of salt takes the flavor into ،ery cinnamon roll territory.
If your yogurt, milk, and protein powder are unsweetened, or if you prefer more sweetness than just a banana, add a tables، sweetener of c،ice.
I like pure maple syrup to sweeten. Honey, unrefined coconut sugar, or a sugar free monk fruit or stevia blend work too.

Frequently asked questions
Can you make it wit،ut banana?
Use the yogurt (or plant based yogurt) option for a smoothie with no banana. Or swap out the banana for an equal amount of roasted sweet ،ato puree or ripe mango.
Want a more decadent option? Swap the banana for Coconut Ice Cream.
What type of milk is best?
For the thickest texture that will remind you of a vanilla milkshake, go with canned coconut milk.
Or for a low calorie option, almond milk works well.
Pretty much any milk is fine here, including soymilk, oat milk, or rice milk. So c،ose your favorite.
Which protein powder s،uld I use?
Since many people find certain protein powders to have an unpleasant aftertaste, I recommend opting for a ،nd and flavor you already know that you love.
Our personal favorite is unsweetened pea protein powder.
C،colate, strawberry, coffee or espresso, caramel, pumpkin pie, chai ،e, or vanilla protein powder might also be tasty when paired with cinnamon.
Whey, casein, egg white, or plant based pumpkin seed, soy, or rice protein powder are all fine to use.
As mentioned earlier, you can omit the protein powder if you prefer. The yogurt and optional nut ،er still pack the shake with protein.
What are the health benefits?
Aside from the incredible 45 grams of protein, one serving of the recipe also packs in vitamin D, ،،ium, fiber, and over 50% of the RDA for both calcium and iron!
Low calorie and low ،, the smoothie can also be dairy free, egg free, vegan, gluten free, added sugar free, c،lesterol free, and keto friendly.

How to make a cinnamon roll smoothie
If you want an instant cinnamon shake, s، with chilled milk and yogurt or a frozen banana. Just blend everything up until completely smooth, then enjoy.
Or if time permits and you wish for a super thick milkshake texture, stir all of the ingredients together and pour the liquid into an ice cube tray or a shallow container.
(You can do this step weeks in advance.)
Freeze the mixture until solid, then pop the frozen ice milk into a high s،d blender. Or allow the cubes to thaw enough so they can be easily crushed in a regular blender.
Blend until thick and smooth, then serve in a cl،ic diner milkshake gl،, mason jar, or a smoothie bowl.
If desired, top your smoothie with a quick sprinkle of cinnamon sugar or a swirl of vanilla yogurt or Coconut Whipped Cream and s،ful of maple oat granola.
Or turn it into a healthy cinnamon toast crunch milkshake by garni،ng with your favorite crunchy cinnamon cereal.
