Vanilla Protein Shake FAQs

Why does my vanilla protein shake taste too sweet?

Vanilla whey powders vary widely in sweetness. Blend the listed soy milk, banana, yogurt, and ice with the powder first, then taste before adding anything else. A little more unsweetened soy milk can soften an overly sweet result, though it also changes the serving size and nutrition.

How much protein is in this vanilla shake?

About 41g with the listed ingredients, though the exact amount depends on the protein powder and soy milk brands.

Can I make a vanilla protein shake without banana?

Yes. Replace banana with more ice and a quarter cup of cottage cheese, yogurt, or frozen cauliflower for body.
