Ingredients
240 ml unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp cream cheese
28 g (55 ml) fresh raspberries, or frozen
1⁄4 tsp vanilla extract
1⁄4 tsp stevia drops
60 ml (25 g) whey protein isolate (unflavored)
1 tbsp cocoa powder
240 ml ice cubes
60 ml heavy whipping cream or coconut cream (optional)
Instructions
Place the almond milk, cream cheese, raspberries, vanilla extract, and stevia drops into a blender and blend until mixed.
Add the protein powder, cocoa powder, cream (if using) and ice. Blend until smooth. Serve and enjoy.
Protein powder
You can also use vanilla flavored whey protein powder in place of the unflavored whey, stevia and vanilla extract. Ensure the protein powder uses natural flavoring and Diet Doctor-approved sweeteners.
Tip
For a more filling smoothie, add one tablespoon of coconut oil or any other healthful oil. You may also substitute the whipping cream for 1⁄4 cup Greek yogurt. If so, add a little water for a more liquid consistency.
