A quick and delicious protein shake blending vanilla protein powder with crushed cookies for a creamy, nostalgic treat perfect for breakfast, post-workout, or anytime indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole milk or almond milk for lighter option)
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla; dairy-free coconut yogurt optional)
  • 3–4 crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (roughly chopped; gluten-free optional)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) ice cubes
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1 scoop (about 30g) of vanilla protein powder, 1 cup (240 ml) of your chosen milk, and ½ cup (120g) of Greek yogurt. Roughly chop 3-4 chocolate sandwich cookies into small chunks.
  2. Pour the milk and add the Greek yogurt into the blender first to create a creamy base.
  3. Add the vanilla protein powder, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Add honey or maple syrup if desired for sweetness.
  4. Add ½ cup of ice cubes and the chopped cookies to the blender.
  5. Pulse the blender 4-5 times to break up the cookies, then blend on high for 20-30 seconds until creamy with small cookie bits.
  6. Taste and adjust consistency or sweetness by adding more milk or honey and blend briefly if needed.
  7. Pour into a tall glass, optionally sprinkle cookie crumbs on top, and serve immediately.

Notes

Blend liquids and creamy ingredients first before adding powders and solids to avoid clumps. Do not overblend cookies to keep some crunch. For extra cold and thick shake, freeze cookies for 15 minutes before crushing and use frozen yogurt. Shake or stir before drinking if separation occurs. Can be stored in refrigerator up to 24 hours and re-blended before serving.
