This is a pistachio flavored protein shake recipe that I came up with one busy morning for my son. He loved it because it was green and walked around the rest of the day doing lat spreads that "ripped" his shirt. I loved it because it only added 19 calories to my protein shake.
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 1 ½ tbsp sugar-free pistachio pudding mix
- 1 mint leaf or a few drops peppermint extract (optional)
- a few drops green food coloring (optional)
- 8 oz. cold water (or low-fat milk)
- 3-5 ice cubes
Preparation:
Add all ingredients to blender, blend, and pour into cup. This tastes great without the mint so don't worry if you don't have it around. The shake is a light green even without the food coloring but if you want it green (like The Hulk!), you'll need a few drops.Nutritional Information for added ingredients (excludes milk & protein powder): Calories -19; Carbs - 5g; Protein - 0g; Fat - 0g; Fiber - 0g
