Notes
Nutrition facts are an estimate and WILL change with any substitutions.
Toppings and add in’s with the SAME vanilla-based base:
Powdered peanut butter or almond butter added to the cookies and cream shake for a peanut butter chocolate cookie flavorwould be awesome. There’s even a chocolate-flavored powdered peanut butter that would be A++ in this!
Cocoa powder or chocolate chips! Add in some cocoa powder for an extra chocolatey flavor or chocolate chips.
Mint extract or mint-stuffed Oreos for mint chocolate or even skip the Oreos and use a couple of chocolate graham cracker sheets, YUM!!
Add ice cream for a true milkshake flavor! Add a scoop or two of carb-smart ice cream to keep the carbs low OR use your Ninja Creami creations for a cookies and cream protein milkshake.
Have you tried my White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies yet? They’re my favorite soft-baked delicious cookies and would be the best addition to this cookies and cream shake.
Granola!! Any of my granolas would be a great addition to this shake but definitely check out the Smore’s granola for adding on top or mixed in.
For some added fiber toss in some chia seeds! They’ll just add extra texture to this cookies and cream protein shake.
Cereal! Add it to the blender with the ingredients or top the shake with your favorite cereal for a crunch! For extra protein use Magic Spoon Chocolate cereal.
If you want to thicken this shake up while keeping the creamy texture and add a bit of a milkshake flavor to this cookies and cream protein shake, add xanthan gum which works to thicken.
