🥄 Texture

Creamy and smooth from the milk, banana, and protein powder, producing a medium-thick milkshake body. Scattered crumbled protein bar pieces add intermittent crunchy-chewy bites and a slightly grainy mouthfeel if the powder isn't fully dissolved.

👃 Aroma

Sweet, ripe banana aroma up front with warm vanilla and milky dairy notes. A faint baked or chocolatey scent from the crumbled protein bar gives a dessert-like background.

🍷 Pairs Well With

Unsweetened mint tea or strong black/Arabic coffee to cut through the shake's sweetness and refresh the palate.

🥗 Side Dishes

Dates and mixed nuts, a small plate of labneh with olive oil and za'atar, or whole-grain toast with tahini or honey — light Middle Eastern-inspired bites that complement the shake.
