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!

A little 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!
If you try it let me know what you think, it’s one of my favorite recipes lately!

Ho many calories?

just had it calculated and it looks like 365 depending on the size of the banana Tasanee. I’ve updated the recipe to show the nutritional info. Hope that helps! ~Melissa

How can this be healthy? Any cake mix is so sweet. You open the box and can just smell the sugar.

I made this smoothie tonight. It was alright. It probably would have been better if I used vanilla Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt. Next time I make it, I will use vanilla yogurt to see if it makes a difference.

What do you do with the remainder of the cake batter?
Melissa Riker
I keep the cake mix in the pantry and use it for this or other recipes as needed!

Hmmm…this is an interesting smoothie flavor. I’m sure the kids will love it since I don’ t like them eating raw cake batter…will be a nice substitute.
