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 it’s cake batter goodness but also doesn’t make me feel guilty afterwards!

Author: The Happier Homemaker
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla almond milk
- ½ cup vanilla Greek Yogurt
- 3 tbsp yellow cake mix
- ½-1 banana, sliced and frozen
- sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Combine everything other than sprinkles in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into glass and top with sprinkles if desired
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!

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.

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

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.

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