Espresso Protein Shake

[Newfoundlove 95]

Now that I am over four months out I can tolerate Protein shakes much better. For the first four months I was choking them down because they were just too sweet for me. I've been experimenting with different flavors and started making an Espresso Protein shake two days ago. I make one for me and one for my husband each morning. We love them. I did check with both my surgeon's office and my NUT to make sure that the Espresso powder was not going to be an issue and they told me it was fine, but not to drink more than one a day. I must say that this tastes like an ice cream shake to me. It's simply delicious.

1 cup chocolate Unsweetend Almond Milk (I use Blue Diamond brand)

1 scoop chocolate Protein Powder (I use Unjury)

1 1/2 teaspoons Espresso Powder (instant Espresso Coffee)

If you like it extra chocolaty, you can add Sugarfree Chocolate Torani Syrup

4-5 cubes of ice

Blend it all up in a blender, Magic Bullet, or Ninja. Enjoy!

I make one like this but with Click Espresso Protein Powder, I buy the Decaf. Yum!

Wow that sounds yummy...I'm definitely going to experiment with that. Love espresso, and have trouble getting all my Protein in.

That sounds like a winner. All I need to do now is find the magic bullet. I could whip up shakes/smoothies with the bullet. My blender doesn't like me any more. Plus the bullet is smaller and takes up less space.

This recipe I'm putting in my VST folder of recipes

Just had one and it was great. I did make mine a warm drink, since these go down easier for me. It was wonderful:)

I got my Bullet at costco. You can also get them on Amazon. Bed, Bath and Beyond also sells the Ninja which is similar.
