The ingredients you need to make my Birthday Cake Protein Shake:

Bananas: sliced, frozen for that ice creamy, rich taste and texture.
Coconut or oat milk: Creamy, providing a rich texture and taste.
Cashew Butter: Offers various health benefits due to its rich nutrient profile. It’s a good source of healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, iron, and copper, as well as antioxidants. These nutrients contribute to heart health, bone health, and weight management.
Chia Or Hemp Seeds: Omega-3-rich seeds that add a nutritional punch to this protein shake.
Protein Powder: Add your fave to majorly boosts the protein content for the ultimate macros (protein, fats, carbs) balance.

Sprinkles: For that quintessential birthday cake charm, their nutritional value is all about adding happiness!
