Ditch the chalky chocolate protein for something that actually tastes like a tropical treat. This shake is thick, velvety, and uses the natural anthocyanins in the Ube Superfood powder to help you recover while looking incredible. It’s "superfood" in its most drinkable form.

Ingredients

• 1-2 tbsp Ube Powder (2 tbsp for maximum "galaxy" purple)

• 1 Frozen banana (peeled and sliced before freezing for the creamiest texture)

• 1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk or oat milk

• 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder (optional, but rounds out the flavor)

• 1 tbsp Almond butter or cashew butter (adds a nutty depth that pairs perfectly with ube)

• A pinch of sea salt (to make the ube flavor pop)

• Optional: A splash of vanilla extract

Instructions

1. The Base: Add your frozen banana and milk of choice to the blender.

2. The Boost: Add in 1 to 2 generous tablespoons of the Ube Superfood Powder. Watch the white liquid turn into a deep, royal violet the moment you hit "pulse."

3. The Cream: Add the nut butter and protein (if using).

4. Blend: Blitz on high until completely smooth. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk.

5. Serve: Pour into a chilled glass. For the "pro" look, sprinkle a tiny dusting of the dry ube powder on top of the foam.

Why the Powder Wins in a Shake

• Clean Label: Most ube shakes in cafes are loaded with condensed milk and food coloring. This version is 100% plant-based and functional.

• Texture: Because it’s a fine yam powder, it acts as a natural thickener, giving the shake a "malt-like" consistency without the extra calories.

The "Superfood" Edge

Unlike a standard "Purple Yam" shake from a boba shop (which can easily top 600 calories and 60g of sugar), your version using the pure powder is:

• Low Glycemic: The fiber in the ube powder slows down sugar absorption.

• Antioxidant Dense: Packed with Anthocyanins (the same heart-healthy pigments found in blueberries).

• Bioavailable: Raw, organic powder retains more micronutrients than heat-processed jams.
