Chocolate Mint Shake [Recipe]

Protein shakes are a fantastic way to fuel your muscles after a great workout, but simply combining protein powder and water can be pretty boring and bland. By adding ice and a few other tasty ingredients you can turn that boring smoothie into a delicious dessert.

Blend up one of these bad-boys whenever you have the urge to eat a bowl of ice cream but you don’t have the macros left.

What You Need
Serves 1

1 cup ice
1/2 frozen banana
1 Tablespoon chopped dark chocolate
1 cup water
1 scoop of your favorite chocolate protein powder (we use Paleo ethics – use the code OYE20 at checkout)
a few drops of organic peppermint flavoring (find next to vanilla extract at the store)
fresh mint leaves to garnish (optional)

Instructions (so simple Jason could do it)

Combine all of the ingredients in a blender. Mix until smooth. Enjoy!
