I subscribe to Oxygen Magazine and saw this recipe. I just HAD to try it! There is just something about peppermint around the holidays! This is a treat NOT to feel guilty about!
1 c. almond milk
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
1/4 tsp peppermint extract
1/4 c. greek yogurtD
a few crushed peppermint candies
1 packet Truvia or Splenda (opt.)
1/2 c. table salt
Ice
Step 1: Put all ice and 1/2 cup salt into the Large bag. Mix up the ice and salt so the salt covers all the ice.
Step 2: Put all the remaining ingredients in the smaller ziplock bag (soy milk, protein powder of your choice, greek yogurt, extract, candies, optional splenda). Seal the smaller bag and then shake it up a bit to mix the ingredients up.
Step 3: Put the smaller bag (sealed) in the larger bag full of ice and salt. Seal the larger bag up. Now… Shake, shake, SHAKE!
Shake 5-10 Minutes
