Keep your diet and stay on the rocky road with this Rocky Road Protein Shake! It looks, smells, and tastes just like the ice cream. If you want a healthier alternative without the guilt then this protein shake recipe is for you!
For this protein shake you’ll need a blender to blend in your rolled oats, nuts, and ice. If you don’t have a good blender, check mine out here!
Add into your blender 1/2 cup of unsweetened milk substitute (I like vanilla), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1 ounce of unsalted mixed nuts, 2 tablespoons of marshmallow fluff, 1 1/2 scoops of a chocolate protein powder, 1/2 container of a vanilla Greek yogurt, a couple drops of some optional red food coloring, and 1/2 cup of ice.
Diet tip? Lower the sugar in this rocky road protein shake recipe by using a plain Greek yogurt!
Blend all of your ingredients together until your rocky road protein shake forms.
Did you know that cocoa powder is cheap, has no sugar in it, and is packed with fiber?
Pour your shake into your favorite glass and top it! I like to top mine with some marshmallow bits and crushed up unsalted mixed nuts. Let me know what you top yours with in the comments below.
