I recently had one of those Core Power protein milkshakes, and it surprisingly tasted exactly like a vanilla milkshake. For 26 g of protein and fairly minimal ingredients (besides some artificial sweeteners), these seemed pretty good to have on occasion. My main issue was the price. So instead of spending $3.28 on a single bottle, let's do it for cheaper, shall we There's also a 42 g of protein version for $4.50 which I'm going to recreate here, with the same amount of protein and calories for a fraction of the cost

- 1 scoop (30 g) Whey protein powder, vanilla
- 1 cup (240 g) Fairlife skim milk
- 1/4 cup (56 g) Plain nonfat greek yogurt
- 1 tsp (5 g) Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) Liquid monk fruit

1. Add the whey and 1/2 cup (120 g) of your milk to a shaker bottle, and shake until fully dissolved. Add the rest of the milk, as well as vanilla extract, liquid monk fruit, and yogurt. Shake, adjust to taste, and enjoy

Notes

1. For chocolate instead of vanilla, omit, the vanilla extract, and instead use 1 tbsp (5 g) of cocoa powder
2. Alternatively, you can use unsweetened almond milk instead of fairlife skim milk to make it even cheaper. In that case, increase the whey to 1 1/2 scoops (45 g)
