Chocolate Covered Strawberry Protein Shake

My bff gave me a jar of simply fruit the other day because she didn't like it. It's been sitting in the fridge at work and today it gave me the inspiration to make a fab new shake.

The Almond Milk I've been using is really good. This week I have the vanilla flavor, but I honestly can't taste the difference in my protein shakes.

Here's the recipe  (I put ice in this as well)


Tip - if you use coconut oil make sure it is in liquid form and do not put it on the cold ice or milk or you'll end up with little waxy balls of coconut oil. First pour in the ice, then milk, jelly, protein powder and then throw the oil in last. If you stack it that way in the blender, the oil will mix in well and you won't have a weird texture.

  2. sounds good! I am trying to stay away from protein shakes right now because its more calories than I want and doesn't keep me full as long...can't wait for the first fill!

    1. Jenn are you using powders? Try switching to almond milk. I bought a carton today that only has 35 calories for a full cup.

  3. Thanks for the new recipe since I am on liquids for all of today :) I am drinking one of the Syntax Nectars - Black Cherry with water and ice in the blender. Not bad for afternoon.
