Where to Find Cinnamon Crunch Protein Powder

You can find cinnamon crunch protein powder online or at specialty health stores. I went with Some KOS because they are totally plant based, clean protein and do not add any types or refined sugar. I’ve also read that Quest protein makes a similar flavor protein. Can’t find it? No problem! Substitute with any vanilla protein powder and add a pinch of cinnamon for a similar flavor.

How to Customize Your Smoothie

Take this cinnamon toast crunch protein shake to the next level with these customization ideas:

  • Swap the protein powder: Use vanilla or whey protein isolate if you don’t have cinnamon crunch protein powder.
  • Add extra nutrition: Toss in a tablespoon of chia or flax seeds for added fiber and omega-3s.
  • Make it a dessert: Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
