Frozen Banana Protein Shake

So, things have been pretty hectic for me the last few months. My computer decided to start overheating and was in the shop for over a month, right in the midst of a very busy, very stressful semester, so needless to say, nothing got done on this blog of mine. But now that I have a fully functioning laptop again, and a whole three weeks off between the Summer and Fall semesters, I've got a bunch of ideas that I need to share.


I'm pretty much still unconscious when I first get up in the morning, so I like to have go-to recipes for breakfast that don't require too much thinking (or cooking) on my part. And because of my class schedule, it can be quite a bit of time between having breakfast and getting to eat again. That's why I am nuts about any sort of protein shake, and thus, the Frozen Banana Protein Shake, which is inspired by the Cake Batter Protein Shake from Dashing Dish. This shake is so amazingly yummy, thick and bursting with glorious banana flavor, has 43 grams of protein, and comes in at just over 400 calories.

What you'll need
