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.
