Recipe: Mocha Coconut Protein Shake

July 5, 2012

I don’t even feel like this should be considered “healthy” in the slightest because it is SO good and tastes exactly like the Starbucks one! I use protein shakes/smoothies as a supplement to my diet to make sure that I am getting enough protein in this lean mean machine of mine!! 🙂

I like playing around with different combinations and since coconut milk is all the rage, I decided to put this together! Super easy.

♥♥♥

Mocha Coconut Protein Shake

♦ 1 scoop Chocolate whey protein powder (I use Designer Whey)

♦ 1 cup of Original Coconut Milk (You can also use Vanilla Coconut Milk)

♦ 1 packet of instant coffee (I use Starbucks Via: Columbia)

♦ Optional: 1/2 tsp (or to taste) Coconut Extract

♦ Ice

Put all ingredients in a blender. Mix and enjoy!

♥♥♥

Sugar: 8 grams *

Protein: 19 grams

(*If you use the Vanilla Coconut Milk: 190 Calories, 11 grams sugar. All else stays same)

    Sounds yummy! I have almond milk on hand and will try that as a substitute. 😉

    I love this one. I also slip a handful of spinach in sometimes, you can’t taste it through the protein powder and it is oh, so good for you!

    Love this smoothie! I do a similar one with the unsweetened coconut milk (only 45 calories!) and a scoop of cacao powder. So much chocolate goodness!

    YUM! Had one today. Without the protein powder. I need to get some still. But this is such an indulgent treat. Sad to say I don’t think it is E2 approved due to the sugar. Love the coconut milk, that was new for me! So many new yummy things lately. 🙂
