Recipe of the Week – Chocolate Mint Protein Shake

Recipe of the Week - Chocolate Mint Protein Shake

There are just some combos that were meant to go together;

  • peanut butter & jelly
  • bacon & eggs
  • chips and salsa
  • burger and fries
  • spaghetti and meatballs
  • milk and cookies

While all of those combinations are amazing, they really aren’t optimal food choices on a daily basis (except for bacon & eggs – you should be eating that!).

That being said, I’d like to submit an additional combo that happens to be a personal favorite of mine to that list; mint & chocolate!

Mint chocolate chip ice cream is one of my guilty pleasures in life, but the sugar crash the can sometimes follow is never as enjoyable…

Here’s a tasty way to get a good amount of protein and none of the guilt. Blend up one of these Chocolate Mint Protein Shakes whenever you have the urge to eat a bowl of ice cream. It’s just as sweet and delicious, while being filled with the protein that your muscles need.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ice
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped dark chocolate
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 scoop high quality chocolate protein powder
  • a few drops of organic peppermint flavoring (find next to vanilla extract at the store)
  • fresh mint leaves to garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender.
  2. Mix until smooth.
  3. Enjoy!
