Notes
- The cookies and cream protein shake will be thinner if you use whey protein.
- Top the cookies and cream protein shake with any cookie you love. I prefer these homemade crumble cookies.
- Any non-dairy milk will work (almond milk, homemade hemp milk etc).
- If you want to switch up the flavor slightly, use chocolate protein powder, it's a fun twist!
- Frozen banana will make the smoothie creamier than a fresh banana. Either way, make sure to use a very ripe banana as it’s sweeter!
- Learn more about Gluten-Free Pantry Staples to have on hand for this recipe!
- The nutritional breakdown uses one store-bought chocolate chip cookie split between two servings and does not include whipped cream.
