Put unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, caramel sauce, and protein powder into a blender. Secure lid.
Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
Blend until smooth.
Start the blender on LOW speed for 5 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for 20 seconds.
Pour shake into a cup. Serve immediately.

Instead of unsweetened almond milk, you can also use soy milk or cow's milk, which will add more protein to the shake.
To let the caramel flavor shine, use unflavored protein powder. Vanilla and chocolate versions are also delicious with caramel. Feel free to use whey or plant-based powder, depending on your preference.
Add a few ice cubes for a thicker protein shake. Put them in the blender after the powder.
Before using protein powder, check the instructions on the packaging. It will tell you how much powder to add per drink.
Caramel sauce has the best flavor. However, you can also use caramel extract. Use ½ teaspoon per smoothie.
Protein shakes have the best flavor and texture right after they're made. But if you need to store leftovers, use an airtight jar and put it in the refrigerator. Enjoy within 1-2 days.
