Peppermint Mocha Shake
A festive, protein-packed take on the classic peppermint mocha.
Prepare 200ml chocolate Serenova Balance & Boost following the pack instructions.
Add 1 shot (30–45ml) cooled espresso and 3–4 drops peppermint extract (taste and adjust).
Blend for 10–15 seconds until smooth and frothy.
Pour into a tall glass.
Top with a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed candy cane.
Serve with a festive straw or mini candy cane on the rim.
Serenova tip: If you prefer less peppermint, start with 1–2 drops — peppermint extract is strong.
This recipe is fully vegan when made without dairy cream and vegetarian if dairy cream is added.
Gingerbread Cookie Shake
Warm, spicy gingerbread flavour in a quick, drinkable treat.
Prepare 200ml vanilla Serenova Balance & Boost following the pack instructions. Add ½ tsp ground ginger, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg and ½ tsp golden syrup.
Blend for 10–15 seconds until evenly combined.
Pour into a glass and top with cream and crushed ginger snaps or a mini gingerbread biscuit.
Optional: For texture, stir in a broken gingerbread biscuit or sprinkle on extra crumbs.
Warm option: Gently heat the blended shake in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly — do not boil.
Serenova tip: Try a dash of molasses for a deeper, bakery-style gingerbread flavour.
This recipe is fully vegan when made without dairy and gingerbread and vegetarian if dairy and gingerbread is used.
Hot
Chocolate Protein Mug
A cosy, nourishing hot chocolate you can feel good about.
Prepare 200ml chocolate Serenova Balance & Boost following the pack instructions.
Warm gently over low heat in a small saucepan, stirring constantly — avoid boiling.
Once steaming, stir in a square of dark chocolate until melted. Add a pinch of cinnamon and mix.
Pour into a festive mug and top with cream and mini marshmallows or a light dusting of cocoa powder.
Serenova tip: If the texture thickens too much, stir in 1–2 tbsp milk (dairy or plant) to loosen.
This recipe is fully vegan when made without dairy, chocolate and marshmallows and vegetarian if those ingredients are used.
Spiced Apple Pie Shake
All the cosy, spiced apple-pie vibes — but quick and light.
Prepare 200ml vanilla Serenova Balance & Boost following the pack instructions. Add 60g unsweetened apple sauce, ½ tsp cinnamon and a pinch of allspice.
Blend for 10–15 seconds until smooth.
Pour into a mug and top with crushed oat biscuits or granola for a crumble effect.
Optional: Warm gently in a saucepan for a pie-like experience.
Serenova tip: Use unsweetened apple sauce to control sugar — add a drizzle of honey only if you want it sweeter.
This recipe is fully vegan when made with vegan biscuits or granola and without honey. It becomes vegetarian if honey is used.
Snowball Shake
A light, coconut-flavoured festive shake with a snowy finish.
Prepare 200ml vanilla Serenova Balance & Boost following the pack instructions. Add a splash (½ tsp) almond extract and 1 tbsp desiccated coconut.
Blend briefly (8–10 seconds) so coconut is dispersed but still gives texture.
Pour into a chilled glass.
Top with white chocolate shavings and a sprinkle of extra desiccated coconut.
Serve with a candy cane stirrer for a festive touch.
Serenova tip: Swap almond extract for a little vanilla if you want a milder flavour.
This recipe is fully vegan when made without white chocolate and vegetarian if white chocolate is used.
Festive Berry Trifle Dessert
A pretty, layered dessert that doubles as a nourishing treat.
Prepare 200ml raspberry Serenova Balance & Boost following the pack instructions.
In a tall clear glass, spoon 2–3 tbsp Greek yogurt to create the first layer. Pour some of the prepared Balance & Boost over the yogurt.
Add a layer of mixed berries (fresh or thawed frozen) and a sprinkle of crushed meringue.
Repeat layers (yogurt → shake → berries → meringue) until the glass is nearly full.
Finish with a drizzle of honey and a few mint leaves on top. Chill briefly, or serve immediately.
Serenova tip: Use crushed freeze-dried berries for an extra crunchy, flavourful finish.
This recipe is vegan when made without dairy, honey and meringue and vegetarian if the ingredients are used.
