Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 1 large banana, sliced, frozen
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • 3/4 cup crushed ice
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for extra fluff)
  • 1 tablespoon natural rainbow sprinkles

Optional Toppings

  • Extra rainbow sprinkles
  • White chocolate chips
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Coconut flakes
  • Freeze-dried raspberries

Instructions

  • Add the frozen banana, Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, vanilla and almond extract to a high-speed blender.
    Blend until mostly smooth.
    Add the crushed ice and xanthan gum, if using.
    Blend on high for 3-5 minutes until the mixture becomes thick, light and fluffy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.
    Fold in the rainbow sprinkles just before serving.
    Spoon into a bowl immediately.
    Add your favourite toppings and enjoy while cold and fluffy.
    Notes
    Blend for several minutes to maximise volume.
    Xanthan gum creates a thicker, marshmallow-like texture but is optional.
    Fold the sprinkles in at the end to prevent the colours from bleeding into the fluff.
    Best enjoyed immediately after blending.
    Add a few drops of almond extract or cake batter flavouring for an even stronger birthday cake taste if desired.
    Blended Bites Tips 💡
    Use frozen ripe bananas for maximum sweetness.
    Blend longer than you think necessary to incorporate as much air as possible.
    Serve immediately while it's at its fluffiest.
    Use crushed ice rather than large cubes for easier blending.
    Choose a good-quality vanilla protein powder - the flavour really shines in this recipe.
