I love parties and I love birthday cake. The other day a group of us were talking about protein shakes and which flavor we liked best. I mentioned that Coach Dean is very good at creating new combinations of flavors. Since Sonia's birthday was coming up, they suggested Coach Dean put his creative abilities into making a Birthday Cake Protein Smoothie. It was a hit. In fact I liked it so much I had it for breakfast this morning, and I do not know anyone who has a birthday today.
Birthday Cake Smoothie
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I used Beverly International's Vanilla UMP)
- 1 scoop angel food cake protein powder ( I don't know of any other brand that carries this fantastic flavor- Beverly International's Angel Food Cake UMP)
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 16 ounces of water
- ice
- whipped cream and sprinkles just for fun!
Mix the protein, the banana, the almond and vanilla extract, water, and ice in a blender. Pour into a glass and decorate with whipped cream and sprinkles.
During the summer I love treat that is light in flavors. As a kid Pineapple Upside -Down Cake was a favorite. So you know what I did? I made a Pineapple Upside - Down Cake Smoothie. It was delicious, maybe just as good as Coach Dean's Birthday Cake Smoothie. You'll have to let me know.
Pineapple Upside Down Cake Smoothie
- 1 scoop Vanilla UMP
- 1 scoop Angel Food Cake UMP
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 16 ounces of water
- ice
- whipped cream and sprinkle - because it makes me smile
Mix the protein, the pineapple, the almond and vanilla extract, water, and ice in a blender. Pour into a glass and decorate with whipped cream and sprinkles. I think a cherry on top would make this perfect.
Enjoy your food,
Coach Nancy
