Sometimes your protein shake needs a face lift.

Something that hits the spot when your craving chocolate, crunchy GOODNESS...like an Oreo.

I think this is that something.

Okay, maybe not an Oreo, but it for sure satisfies the craving so you don't eat 1 or...10.

Amidst trying to eat clean and keeping our hands off the cookies, there are days your bod just CRAVES a sweet treat.

Mixing it up is VITAL when trying to stick to a solid regimen because if you don't, you'll burn out and get off track.

Whether its your breakfast, or the healthier alternative to a sweet treat, this shake is full of protein, healthy (satisfying) fats, and hits that chocolate spot with a little bit of added crunch from fresh coffee grains! I.e. taste and texture bliss.

Ingredients:

2 Scoops Vanilla Protein Powder (I used Aloha Vanilla, but I also love Sun Warrior--both are whey/dairy free)
1 Scoop Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides (not necessary, but great if you have on hand)
2 TBS Cocoa Powder
1-2 TBS Coffee Grounds (I use decaf)
Sea Salt (to taste)
16oz Unsweetened Coconut Milk (my favorite brand is Trader Joe's)
5-7 Ice Cubes
If you are serving this to a friend or company, top it with some ground coffee and toasted coconut for some beauty (and added extra crunch!)

Additional add in ideas:

1/3 Frozen Banana
Almond Butter

Directions:

Blend together in blender for 90 Seconds
Serve with ice so it's extra cold

What's your favorite protein shake add in?

ENJOY!
