Vanilla is so underrated. I get it – chocolate is king, but sometimes I feel bad for vanilla. It never did anything wrong to be second place all the time. I used to turn my nose up at vanilla, opting for chocolate every single chance I could. But after this vanilla cake batter protein pudding, I may be officially converted.
Let’s rewind a few years decades – remember when mom would make a boxed cake and you begged her to let you lick the mixer beaters? Remember that cake batter taste on your tongue? Ah the taste of childhood. #nostalgia.
If you were like me and would have gladly drank the cake batter verses eating the actual cake, ooooh do I have a treat for you! But wait wait wait, a healthy treat! A squeaky clean vanilla cake batter protein pudding. Get this – only ONE gram of sugar and over 30 grams of protein in one cup. WOAH. The best part (aside from the taste)? A pudding that is made with a diverse blend of plant-based protein sources. What does that mean? In a nutshell, no junk and no crazy unpronounceable ingredients. Pure, delicious, and perfect for post-workout recovery or a high-protein snack.
Combine Kashi’s® new GoLean™ Vanilla Vinyasa Protein Powder with rich cashew butter, creamy almond milk, fresh vanilla bean and viola, the best dang pudding that rivals any traditional recipe (chocolate included). This ‘should-be-sinful-but-isn’t’ protein treat is not only vegan and gluten free, but it also packs a huge probiotic punch – with one billion CFU probiotics to support inner balance. Namaste Kashi, namaste.
The line of Kashi® GoLean™ Protein Powders can be purchased online at Target.com. And even though I firmly believe that vanilla is where it’s at, Kashi offers other flavors like matcha tea mantra and of course (you guessed it) dark cocoa powder.
Interested in trying for yourself? Well YEAH because I know you can’t resist cake batter! AND you can’t resist a good deal (I know it’s true). To get this awesome deal, type TGTKASHI for $10 off one Kashi Protein Powder (Kashi® GoLean™ or Kashi® Organic).
Protein powder – CHECK. Now for the easiest breakast/snack/dessert recipe everrrrrr…
To make this vanilla cake batter protein pudding simply combine 2 scoops of Kashi® GoLean™ Vinyasa Vanilla Protein Powder with one cup almond milk, 1/3 cup cashew butter, and the seeds from one vanilla bean pod (because the more vanilla, the better). To get the seeds, gently cut the pod vertically to open the top side, then using the back of your knife, gently scrape out the inside of the pod. This is where the jackpot of vanilla goodness is stored. Discard the skin and add the fine vanilla seeds to the mixture.
Chocolate got nothin’ on vanilla with this recipe. I love having a few spoonfuls as a post meal dessert, or try adding it to oatmeal in the morning. It’s perfect for post-workouts too! And with Kashi® GoLean™ Protein Powder’s clean ingredient list, you can feel good about fueling your bod with this delicious treat.
It’s time to up your protein game and try this vanilla cake batter protein powder ASAP!

It’s so thick and delicious looking; I could go for a bowl of protein filled vanilla pudding. 🙂 This would be such a good dessert, and wow Chrissa, that’s amazing that you got a recipe up, because I know that you’ve had your hands full with a new baby and sleep deprivation. You amaze me! 🙂 You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you!
You are awesome! Thanks girl. Luckily my momma has been here for a few weeks to help, so I’m able to get some stuff done (but wishing I could get a little more sleep) 😉 She is SUCH a huge blessing!!
Yum! This sounds like it would be something that’s right up my alley.
Awesome to hear! You seriously have to try this Alanna!
I love the addition of real vanilla bean! Looks so creamy!
Real vanilla is where it’s at. I can’t wait to start incorporating it into more recipes!
INTERESTING. I’ve never had healthy cake batter before… and especially one that didn’t have the risk of salmonella in it. What is life without such risks? 😉
Just kidding, hehe, but this looks great. I love the addition of the vanilla bean, so authentic!!
LOL my mom would always be like “One lick! Then no more – it has raw eggs in it!” But I guess I like living on the edge. Total risk taker. 😉 Thanks girl – you gotta give this one a whirl!
Oh my! Yes I remember those days of tasting the sweet cake batter on the end of the mixing spoon. I HAVE to try this! I’m actually drooling over here LOL
Yesss those were the days! You absolutely have to try this Melanie. You’d love!
This sounds amazing and so different than anything else I’ve had! I love that you added protein!
Totally different. I’m seriously addicted. Thanks Logan!
This looks awesome! I am always looking for healthy protein powder options!
It’s nice to mix it up (aside from the traditional protein smoothie). Thanks Lauren!
I would have NEVER thought of this on my own! Sounds healthy, but so delicious!! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Anali! Healthy SHOULD be delicious too! ‘Cause life is too short 😉
The more cake we can eat, the better 😉
This pudding looks delish, my friend! Healthy, fats, protein, and….”CAKE”!
Exactly. Cake. ’nuff said. I’m glad you get it Rebecca 🙂
Looks yummy! I havent seen that brand before! Cant wait to try!
Yes, you must try it Heather! It’s a winner 🙂
I have realized one reason I just don’t have the stamina to run distances is that I am lacking in calories and nutrients. I think this bowl of goodness is a very good excuse for “loading up.”
Makes total sense. This is great for those good fats and loads of protein. I hope it helps you power through those long runs Alexa!
This looks so great and congratulations on your blogger thingy that I read last week. That was so cool that you were the mystery blogger. How fun! Well done and awesome hard work that paid off!
Thanks so much friend! I appreciate it. You’ve been such a great supporter and it means a lot!
Sounds heavenly! I love cake batter, so this healthier choice is calling my name!
Thanks Blair! It’s soooo nice to eat a dessert that is such a better version for you than the original!
Yum! I had no idea Kashi made protein powder. This sounds so good…especially like the idea of a scoop in my oatmeal.
YES and it’s SO good! I love the clean ingredient list too. This pudding recipe in oatmeal (or just a simple scoop or two) in oatmeal would be amaaaaazing!
This looks so delicious! You’re so right I was always hovering over my mom waiting to lick the cake beaters! 🙂 xo Loren
It’s just a classic childhood thing, right?! Thanks Loren!
Yum this looks so good! Can’t wait to try it out.

Thanks Kritika! Enjoy!
Looks so easy, and so good I will have to try this.
I hope you do Marvina. I love easy recipes – life is too busy and complicated for anything but!
Yay! I love this! I have an excess (haha) of protein powder and I’ve been trying to find creative uses for em’! This sounds delicious! <3
Glad you came across this recipe Farrah!
I love that I’m seeing more recipes with protein powder. This looks like the first protein powder I ever tried. Super yummy!

YAY I love being the first at something when it involves food (seems like everything has been done so it’s tough to get creative). Thanks Dia!
Delayed question here, but how long does this last in the fridge?
I was looking to make batches to add into my workout meal prep, since this looks perfect for a pre-workout yogurt & fruit snack
Great idea Mike! I kept mine in the fridge 3-4 days just fine!
The cashew butter is a bit overpowering.

Sorry you didn’t love it Tyler!
