Cake Batter Healthy Smoothie

Get all the taste of a fun confetti cake in this healthy, low calorie 5 minute Cake Batter Smoothie that’s perfect for summer!

Every now and then I have a good idea.  It’s true.  I promise. So a few months ago I was brainstorming while on a long drive and I thought to myself, “Melissa-you should make a smoothie that tastes like cake batter…everybody loves cake batter!” After convincing myself it wasn’t weird to talk to myself like that, I thought to go one further-come up with a cake batter smoothie that was not only tasty but actually not bad for you too.  After a few trials, I’ve come up with a tasty, healthy smoothie that never fails to satisfy my sweet tooth with its cake batter goodness but also doesn’t make me feel guilty afterward!

How to Make a Cake Batter Healthy Smoothie

It’s too easy to make this 5 minute healthy smoothie! Combine together almond milk, Greek yogurt, a banana, and a bit of dry cake mix and blend together for a delicious treat!

**Note On Eating Dry Cake Mix**

It was brought to my attention in the years since this post first published in 2014 that eating dry cake mix is not recommended by the FDA after a flour recall for bacterial contamination years ago. If you are concerned or uncomfortable with adding the cake mix to your smoothie I recommend substituting 1/4 – /1/2 teaspoon of this Cake Batter Extract instead.

To make this cake batter smoothie extra fun I love to either top it or rim the cup in sprinkles! Simply moisten the rim of your smoothie glass and press into sprinkles on a plate.

Expert Tips

• Change up the flavor by choosing a different type of cake mix, such as chocolate!
• Add a protein boost and make this smoothie more filling by adding your favorite coordinating flavor protein powder to the smoothie.
• Feel free to substitute dairy milk or other plant-based kinds of milk if desired.

A little extra tip-my little boys are constantly eating only half of a banana at a time so instead of wasting the rest a while back I started slicing their uneaten portions and throwing them in the freezer for smoothies-perfect for this recipe!
