Put almond milk, date syrup, vanilla extract, 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.

Use unflavored, unsweetened almond milk for the healthiest option. Instead of almond milk, you can also use cow's milk or other plant-based milks, like soy milk or oat milk.
Protein powder is the main source of protein in this shake. Feel free to use why or vegan protein powder, depending on your preference.
Skip the date syrup for a less sweet drink.
For a thicker protein shake, add a few ice cubes into the blender after the protein powder.
Check the protein powder's packaging before adding it to the blender. The best amount depends on your specific powder.
If you need to save leftover protein shake, put it in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator. Drink it within 1 or 2 days for the best flavor and texture.
