I’ve been seeing lots of people on social media drinking lots of those Premier Protein Shakes in their cinnamon roll flavor. I am NOT here to yuck anyones yum, but they do contain artificial flavors and sweeteners, thickening agents, and dairy from cows raised on GMO feed. This is a great, healthier alternative if you’re a fan of those!

Protein – what’s the hype?

Protein is a fundamental component of life, and every cell in the body contains it. It’s made up of amino acids, which are used to build and repair muscles, bones, cartilage, and skin. Want healthier hair, skin, and nails? Well, they’re made up of protein, so get your protein in ladies!

I don’t know about you guys, but in the past, i’ve definitely fallen victim to skipping breakfast or grazing, only to feel SO hungry all day. A solid body of research has shown that eating more protein at breakfast can significantly change how we experience hunger throughout the day. Eating a high-protein breakfast can improve our sense of fullness and satiety, resulting in healthier choices throughout the day. This is why I am to get in at LEAST 30g of protein at breakfast! It keeps me feeling full and great until lunch!

How to make a cinnamon roll protein shake

Equipment

• Blender: I love using my Beast Blender! It’s small, compact, & quick!

Ingredients

• Banana: Frozen banana gives this smoothie the creamiest texture! I like to cut my bananas into coins, place them in a bag, and leave in the freezer to make smoothies even easier.
• Oatmeal: Because you’re blending them, any type of oats will work!
• Protein Powder: Protein powder not only gives this smoothie a boost of protein, but it also can add a little sweetness, flavor, and creamy texture! You can use whey protein, bone broth protein, pea protein, etc.
• Coconut yogurt: This not only adds creaminess to the smoothie, but it also gives it a cream cheese frosting feel! SO GOOD. I love the brands Culina and CocoJune for Coconut Yogurt.

Smoothies are the best because they’re so easy. You just chuck everything into your blender, blend, pour into your glass and go! Sometimes I like to layer mine with a little vanilla coconut yogurt to make it feel extra fancy.

Smoothie meal prep

You can measure out the ingredients besides the milk, in baggies and store in the freezer. In the morning, empty the baggie into a blender, add the milk, and you’re good to go! No need to spend time opening our blag of flax seeds, getting the yogurt out of the freezer, etc!
