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

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