In a very limited part of my life—the part when I played high school sports—my mom would make this shake for me as an energy booster. It was filled with nuts and protein and iron—all the good stuff—and, honestly, it was delicious. I felt like I was drinking a milkshake, even though she didn’t use any ice cream. But you know me, always adding ice cream to things that don’t call for it. This shake is super satisfying—nutty, creamy, spiced—and is the perfect after-school (or after-work) treat.
