The best way to make any shake taste like vanilla. Frozen banana for creaminess, oats for the batter texture, a generous pour of vanilla extract for that cake-y flavor. Dates for sweetness, though you may not need them with a sweetened protein powder. Great after a workout, as a meal replacement, or with popcorn for family movie night.
[…] birthday cake? Here’s a simple smoothie that tastes just like it. It’s the Cake Batter Smoothie. We both have birthdays in early April, but it tastes delicious year […]
We use unsweetened almond milk, so the total count is 470 calories (including the optional flax seeds). But the recipe makes either one monster smoothie, or 2 smaller ones to share (which is only 235 calories).

Is there a birthday cake recipe that you have made? If so, would you mind sharing it?
1. I do not recommend using egg whites straight from the shell. I mean, it won’t kill you. But, I’m pretty hardcore and I wouldn’t even do that. Pasteurization eliminates any chance of getting sick. Plus, I think it helps with the consistency and taste.
2. Egg white protein powder is probably just as effective. I, however, perfected all my egg white smoothies with liquid pasteurized egg whites. The few times I’ve tried with the powder, they haven’t turned out as good. But the recipes may just need to be tweaked for the powdered version.
