Caramel Apple Pie Protein Shake

By dette

Here's the Dish

What could be better than enjoying your apple pie in a rich creamy shake packed with protein!?! This shake makes an excellent breakfast or snack, and is so delicious that you will have a hard time believing that it is actually good for you!

In all of my shakes I use DESIGNER WHEY 100% Premium Whey Protein Powder! It tastes awesome, is affordable, and is 100% natural!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Fat free cottage cheese 1
• 1 Scoop vanilla protein powder 2
• 1/2 cup Apple chopped fine, or 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1/2 tsp Caramel extract (or 2 tbs sugar free butterscotch pudding mix)
• 1/2 tsp Apple or pumpkin pie spice
• Dash Cinnamon
• 5-10 Ice cubes (Depending on how thick you like it, use less for a thinner consistency)
• 1/2-1 cup Water (Alter this according to desired consistency)
• 2-3 pkts Stevia (or 1/4 tsp sweetener of choice)
• Optional: 1/2 tsp xanthan gum 3, 1/2 tsp butter extract

Preparation

Step 1

Put everything into a blender and blend until creamy consistency is reached! Top with light whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon if desired, and Enjoy!


1 Cottage cheese may sound strange, but TRUST me… this is what makes the ‘MILKSHAKE’ consistency! Also, if you are sensitive to dairy, you can use tofu to get the same consistency!

2 I use Designer Whey Protein powder. It has 100 calories per scoop. I buy the vanilla flavor because it’s a good base to add whatever flavors you want to make. It is also all natural. You can buy it from Kroger, GNC, Trader Joe’s, Amazon, or Netrition.com.

3 You can get xanthan gum from most grocery stores in the gluten free section! Just a pinch of it makes your shake so thick and creamy!
