9 Delicious Birthday Cake Protein Shake Recipes

Protein shake recipes are all the rave on Pinterest these days.

I’ve found good options for making chocolate peanut butter protein smoothies, banana split protein shakes, and even lemon strawberry.

I’ve written another post with some of those shake recipes but decided Birthday Cake Shake Recipes needed a post all to themselves.

I  mean, who doesn’t love Birthday Cake or cake batter?

If you have a sweet tooth this is a great way to make the perfect healthy snack without the guilt.

If you close your eyes you might think your delicious birthday cake smoothie is layers of cake.šŸ˜‰

Before You Buy A Premade Birthday Cake Protein Powder Mix

There are premade Birthday Cake protein powders on the market but only a few with wholesome ingredients.

It’s just not smart to spend your hard-earned money on junk products that can potentially damage your health.

Before you purchase protein powder (any flavor) make sure it is free of:

  • Surculose/Splenda, Aspartame/NutraSweet (these are terrible sugar-free alternatives)
  • Food coloring
  • Dyes
  • Toxins
  • GMO’s
  • Artificial flavors

The Best Tasting Cake Batter Powders I Recommend:

  • Isagenix Birthday Day Cake Shake -full meal replacement with a creamy texture – 240 calories (get it here
  • Kiss Keto Birthday Day Cake Shake low-calorie keto supplement – 70 calories (get it here)
  • Clean Simple Eats Cake Batter – supplement – 100 calories (get it here

Why I Would Not Buy Premier Protein Cake Batter 

I noticed a lot of talk about Premier Protein Cake Batter Shake because it is so easy to find at regular stores or places like Amazon.

I’ve even seen it recommended by doctors (I’m sure they mean well) but I doubt they looked at the ingredients to know it could do their patients more harm than good.

Please, don’t buy this cheap protein drink.

Just the Sucralose alone is enough to rule it out but it’s not organic and it includes artificial flavors.

Here are the Premier Protein Cake Batter ingredients:

Water, Milk Protein Concentrateā€ , Calcium Caseinateā€ , Contains less than 1% of High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Natural and Artificial flavors, Inulin, Cellulose Gel and Cellulose Gum, Salt, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium, Carrageenan, Tripotassium Phosphate, Dipotassium Phosphate, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Vitamin and Mineral Blend (Dl-alpha-tocopheryl Acetate [Vitamin E], Zinc Glycinate Chelate, Ferric Orthophosphate, Vitamin A Palmitate, Niacinamide, Phytonadione [Vitamin K1], Potassium Iodide, Cholecalciferol [Vitamin D3], Copper Gluconate, Calcium D-Pantothenate, Manganese Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Biotin, Sodium Molybdate, Folic Acid, Thiamine Mononitrate [Vitamin B1], Cyanocobalamin [Vitamin B12], Pyridoxine Hydrochloride [Vitamin B6], Riboflavin [Vitamin B2], Chromium Polynicotinate), Magnesium Phosphate, Sodium Ascorbate. ā€ SOURCE OF PROTEIN

Stick to healthy ingredients so your shakes don’t negatively impact your health.

Birthday Cake Protein Shake Recipes

I’ve seen several recipe variations using instant pudding but since it usually contains Splenda or NutraSweet I didn’t include them in this post for cake batter milkshakes.

You won’t need a large mixing bowl but you will need the best high-speed blender you can afford so you can get the creamy texture to make your delicious birthday cake smoothie.

My favorite protein powder to use in my recipes is the Isagenix IsaPro Vanilla Whey Protein Powder (more info here), Plant-Based Vegan Protein Powder (more info here) and Isalean Meal Replacement Shakes Whey or Vegan ingredients (more info here)

However, you can use the brand of protein powder you like best.
