Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Shake

Almond butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and mini chocolate chips give vanilla protein the taste of raw cookie dough.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Shake

Cookie dough flavor comes from brown sugar, butter, and vanilla, with a trace of salt. Almond butter stands in for the butter, and a small amount of brown sugar does the sweetening. Chocolate chips go in at the end, so they stay whole.

Ingredients

Makes 1 serving.

  • 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (about 30 g)
  • ¾ cup 2% milk
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3 ice cubes

Method

  1. Add the milk, protein powder, almond butter, brown sugar, vanilla, salt, and ice to the blender.
  2. Blend until thick and smooth, about 40 seconds.
  3. Add the chocolate chips and pulse twice.
  4. Spoon into a glass and eat with a spoon, if the shake is very thick.
