• Xantham gum (thickening agent)

How to Chocolate Mint Protein Shake

1. Add 10-12 ice cubes to your blender cup, then add unsweetened almond milk, protein powder, xantham gum, and peppermint extract.
2. Place the lid on the blender cup and give it a shake.
3. Blend the contents of the cup for about 30 seconds, or until completely smooth.
4. Remove the lid and scrape the chocolate mint protein shake into a bowl or cup (note: the mixture should be very thick and creamy!)
5. Top with crushed mint cookies, mini chocolate chips, and a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate syrup.
6. Enjoy!

Swaps or Alternatives

If you have a chocolate mint protein powder, this will work great in place of using the peppermint extract. If you don’t have access to mint chocolate cookies, you can use a regular chocolate cookie like an Oreo or a chocolate graham cracker. 

Quick Tip

Peppermint extract is very potent, be mindful when adding peppermint extract to your protein shake to avoid overdoing the flavor. A tiny dash of peppermint results in big taste!
