Shamrock Protein Shake



the-healthy-chick:

Shamrock Protein Shake!
1/2Cup low fat cottage cheese 11/4 cupVanilla or plain protein powder (I use Designer Whey, which is 100 calories per scoop)1/8 tspMint extract (or to taste)2-3Packets of stevia or sweetener of choice (or to taste)5-10Ice cubes (more or less depending on how thick you like it)4 ozWater (again, alter according to desired thickness of shake)2-3 dropsGreen food coloring, or a handful of spinach to make it green!1-2 tbsSugar Free Instant Pistachio Pudding MixPinch
Guar or xanthan gum

Cottage cheese is what gives shake the thick milkshake consistency! You will not taste the cottage cheese I PROMISE, but you could also use vanilla Greek yogurt OR 1 additional scoop of protein powder instead!
