Nutter Butter protein shake, my fav!
Pre-op, those stinking cookies were one of the few store bought that would call to me, those and fig newtons and those raisin biscuits that you can only order online now.. Anyway..
This is a shake I didn't indulge in often during my losing stage as the cals are higher than what I aimed for, but now I have one a few times a week and it is very satisfying for that peanut butter cookie jones!
I make it either shaken or blended, but prefer it blended- with frozen almond milk (I have a bag of almond mil**** cubes- ea cube=1oz, so easy to blend and go!)
Here's what's in it:
1.5c unsweetened vanilla almond milk (if blended- half frozen, half liquid)
30g (about 1/4C) Protein Plus peanut flour (basically PB2, purely peanuts- but no added sugar and cheaper than PB2, so bonus!)
Pinch or two of salt
28g NOW brand whey protein isolate, unflavored
Couple pumps SF DaVinci Dulce de Leche syrup, to taste
This shake is esp good if you are heading out for a nice long hike, or need something to keep you well fueled for a few hours.. Stats for this tasty high protein shake are: 260 cals/ 11 carbs- of which 6 are fiber for those that do net carbs, and 43g protein.. so you can make this and have it all at once for a high protein bfast, or do what I do sometimes- have half for bfast, and half for dessert!
