  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. What does xanthan gum do in the protein shake? Also I find the addition of zucchini interesting, is that for texture?
