Whipping up a Sugar Cookie Protein Smoothie is a breeze and a delightful way to start your day or enjoy a guilt-free treat.

Blend everything until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency that’s both indulgent and nourishing. Pour this dreamy smoothie into your favorite glass, then take its dessert status to another level with a generous dollop of almond whipped topping and a sprinkle of colorful sprinkles for a playful finish!

Omg I made this two days ago and I swear it tastes just like cookie dough!!!! Usually protein powder is chalky but this shake was divine! I added a bit more oat milk and switched up the nut butter due to allergies and it was still fantastic! Will be making this protein shake on the regular!!!!
Hey Julie, I am so glad that you made this high protein smoothie and loved the flavor! Happy that you were able to make substitutions that suited your specific needs! Thanks for the review 🙂
I’m obsessed with this smoothie! It’s the perfect mix of ingredients that does indeed taste like a sugar cookie. I can’t wrap my head around how such simple healthy ingredients can transform into what feels like drinking a cookie. Adding a splash of almond extract, as suggested in replacement of the almond whipped topping, really elevated the sugar cookie flavor! The sprinkles are a fun addition. It took just a few minutes to make, and I’ve now made it twice!
Hi Chloe! I’m so thrilled that you tried my smoothie! Having something that tastes like a treat, but he’s actually good for you is my kind of breakfast! I’m so so happy that you enjoyed it!
