Ingredients:
32g vanilla protein powder (I use Vega protein smoothie), 6-8 tbsp soy milk, 1 shot espresso (decaf if desired), 25g chopped zucchini, 1/8 tsp xanthan gum (optional), 8-10 ice cubes, vanilla extract to taste
Blend up the ice until it’s crushed. Tip: if your blender doesn’t do this well, add about 1/2 cup water and drain it afterwards. Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth. You might need to adjust the liquid to ice ratio depending on preference.
I know the zucchini sounds weird, but you don’t taste it at all – I promise – and it makes it creamier. Xanthan gum is optional but will help it not be icy. It’ll never be the same as a real milkshake, but it really hit the spot and helped me get my protein in!

I’ve always thought coffee is particularly good in protein shakes. How did you make yours?
I love coffee smoothies. I use my favorite (but$$$, so I don’t use it often) protein powder in choc, frozen banana, coffee, and it is delish. Sometimes I throw in a handful of frozen berries. Oh, and always chia seeds.
Ooooo baby that’s sexy
Oomg, thanks for the idea! I’ll make my version of vanilla protein shake with coffee
What does xanthan gum do in the protein shake? Also I find the addition of zucchini interesting, is that for texture?
