- 2 medjool dates pitted
- 3 tbsp raw cashews
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Notes
- You can use any protein powder you prefer; the recipe author used Isopure Zero Carb Whey Isolate Protein Powder to reach protein intake over 30 grams.
- If you want a sweeter shake, add an extra medjool date or ½ a banana for natural sweetness.
- Any unsweetened non-dairy milk alternative works well, but make sure it is unsweetened to avoid added sugars.
