Because who doesn’t like the amazing aroma AND TASTE of cinnamon rolls hot out of the oven?
Oh and because after working with Quest Nutrition a few weekends ago, I ate one of their Cinnamon Roll protein bars..and once again was reminded that I can make healthier alternatives to the things we all love..like this Cinnamon Roll “Milkshake”! (video coming soon reviewing my weekend at Playlist Live!)
I mean, after creating that cookie dough blizzard and my Chocolate Covered Strawberry Milkshake..oh and my mocha cheesecake milkshake..how could I not make another?!
Have you guys seen that Silk has come out with CASHEW MILK?!
It is just like almond milk, but made of cashews instead! I bought the unsweetened version because of being so interested in what it would taste like, and it was amazing! A hint of that delicious cashew taste, and superrrr creamy.
That’s when I decided I was going to incorporate this extremely creamy cashew milk into making that delicious and creamy taste of a milkshake..in cinnamon roll flavor! And of course, then I had to add some cinnamon roll quest bar pieces in the form of my favorite way of enjoying them..baked in crispy little pieces 🙂
Mmm. So glad I did.
Question for YOU
1. When was the last time you had a milkshake?
2. What was your favorite flavor of milkshake when you were a kid?! (I was allll chocolate and cookie dough!)
- 1 cup Unsweetened Cashew Milk, frozen in ice cube trays
- 1/4 cup additional Cashew Milk, not frozen
- 1/2-1 scoop Protein Powder (I’ve used both TryAboutTime Cinnamon Vegan Protein & Quest Vanilla Milkshake Protein)
- 1 tbsp Cashew Butter (or Almond!)
- 1 tbsp Ground Flaxseed
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Butter Extract (such a necessity here!)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- Dash of Sea Salt
- Stevia or Honey to taste (I used 1 packet Stevia)
- Optional: 1/2 Cinnamon Roll Quest Bar, broken into pieces and baked (see below)
- Place 1 cup of the cashew milk in an ice cube tray and freeze.
- For optional cinnamon roll quest bar pieces, break bar into tiny bite sized pieces, about 20. Bake in oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5 minutes (or until browned). Remove and allow to cool.
- When frozen, pop cubes of milk into blender with the additional 1/4 cup milk, and blend.
- Add all other ingredients (except quest bar pieces) and blend again.
- Stir in 1/2 of the quest bar pieces (1/4 of the bar).
- Serve topped with whipped cream, additional quest bar pieces, and a sprinkle of cinnamon!
