Caffeine + #gains anyone? All you need are four ingredients to make this bold, creamy, and luxurious espresso & vanilla protein shake. It’s the coffee deliciousness of your dreams!
Sometimes a girl just craves a giant Starbucks mocha frappuccino, ok? But maybe minus the calories…the sugar…the carbs…but still wants it to taste good. Is that too much to ask?! If you’ve followed me for a while on social media, you know by now I am all about recreating my favorite foods into macro-friendly versions, all without sacrificing flavor and taste! This espresso & vanilla protein shake is a perfect example of just that. And in case you were wondering, yes – this has an extra boost of protein to help preserve those muscle gains!
Ingredients:
1/4 C instant espresso
1 C vanilla almond milk
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 TBSP. flax seed
Cinnamon
Handful of ice
Directions:
Blend all ingredients together in a high-speed blender.
Serve immediately and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon
Servings: 2

*NOTE*: I personally prefer to make these fresh and as soon as I’m ready to drink it. I also highly recommend blending this in the blender, verses shaking in a shaker cup; that way you make sure to fully blend the flax seeds and avoid any (nasty) clumping.
