(recipe adapted from www.pimpmyproteinshake.blogspot.com)
- 1/2 C. Coconut Milk (you could use Skim milk, Almond milk or water!)
- 1/4 C. Water
- 1/2-1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder (depending on how much you want.)
- 1/4 C. Lite Cottage Cheese
- 1 T. PB2 (or use any all-natural Nut Butter)
- 1/2 tsp. Almond Extract
- 1 T. Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 1 T. Cocoa Powder
- Spinach (optional)
- 6-7 Ice cubes
Here’s everything you need minus the spinach, water and ice. I bought the Protein Powder at Costco, the Unsweetened Coconut at Sunflower Market, the PB2 online and everything else at Walmart.
Add liquids first (Milk, Water, etc.)
Add everything else except spinach and ice.
Mix well in blender.
Add Spinach (sorry, I always do)
Mix well.
Add Ice and mix well!
Enjoy!
My 3 year old and 1 year old love my protein shakes so much that every time I make one, I have a little entourage that follows me around the house. I usually pour some into cups for them and they love it!
I love this shake. I love the flavor of almond extract and I love the little coconut bits in it. Yum. I may add some coconut extract next time to add a little more coconut flavor. We’ll see. Oh, and the way I made it is about 260 calories (add more or less if you use different liquids or real peanut butter.)
