Wake Up Call With This Chocolate Frappuccino Protein Shake

By admin

We made it to Friday friends! Anything fun planned?

We’ve got tons going on. Though I’m not excited to say good-bye to my friend Katie who is moving to Oklahoma next week. My speed demon running buddy is leaving me. At least we’ll get one last hoorah of a run in tomorrow morning.

Other big news… I was nominated for BEST TRAINER IN CHARLESTON by our city paper!

I am honored beyond words to have made it past the preliminaries. But now, I need your help.

If you don’t mind, can you please click here and scroll down to the “Best Personal Trainer” and vote for Kindal? <– If you don’t know why I’m saying Kindal, get the down-low here. It would mean the world to me!

Yes, you have to put in your email but that’s just so they know you only voted once. No spam emails, I promise!

Okay now the meat of the post… or should I say the smoothie?

After a weekend away, I was dragging earlier this week and in need of a serious pick-me up. Luckily, this frappuccino was born and I received the wake up call I needed!

It’s delicious, the perfect combination of chocolate, coffee (and caffeine) and creaminess. I love thick shakes and this hit the spot!

I experimented a lot!

  • You can go with a vanilla protein, but add 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa and a bit of stevia.
  • I used an espresso shot one day and an iced coffee the next. Both worked perfect, though I am partial to espresso.
  • Kale works really well too, but you need to choice one or the other as it helps to make the shake more creamy.

I think that I gave Starbucks a run for it’s money! And let’s face it, it’s a heck of a lot more nutritious!

What do you order at coffee shops? Complicated?

Mine is normally an almond milk latte with a single pump of vanilla and an extra shot. So good! I don’t go to Starbucks often, but love local coffee shops!
