Ingredients
Scale
Protein Shake:
- 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1–2 drops green food coloring (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free pudding mix or Greek yogurt for creaminess (optional)
Optional Add-Ins:
- Ice cubes or frozen spinach (for added texture or nutrients)
Instructions
- Prepare the Shake: In a blender cup or Ninja Creami container, combine the protein powder, almond milk, peppermint extract, chocolate chips, and food coloring. Add pudding mix or Greek yogurt if using, and stir or blend until smooth.
- Freeze the Mixture: If using the Ninja Creami, freeze the mixture in the pint container for 24 hours.
- Process in Ninja Creami: Once frozen solid, process in the Ninja Creami using the ‘Milkshake’ or ‘Smoothie’ function. If too thick, add a splash of milk and re-spin until creamy.
- Serve: Serve immediately as a thick protein shake or smoothie.
Notes
- For a thicker texture, add a half-frozen banana or a scoop of cottage cheese before freezing.
- Adjust peppermint extract to taste—start small and add more after the first spin if needed.
