Ok, so I could post a picture with this recipe. But it wouldn’t be of this shake. Why? Well I’m in the process of packing up my house (while simultaneously decorating for Christmas…how psycho is THAT???) and all my pretty glasses are packed away.

Besides, I tend to make this shake at work, thanks to these babies:

Smaller sized bottles of Davinci that I get at my local Wal-Mart (or Wally World to some of you) for less than $3. Sweet! When I do shakes at work I drink them in my purple cup. My purple cup does not lend itself to a beautiful photographic moment.

So just imagine what this shake looks like in your head and know that Bariatric Foodie does, in fact, have artistic integrity. Although this shake may LOOK like a million other chocolate shakes I’ve made…I will not pass off a fake photo!!! (/end melodrama)
Nik’s “Peanutella” Protein Shake

8 oz. milk (whatever kind you use)
1 scoop chocolate peanut butter protein powder

– OR –

1 scoop of chocolate protein powder +
1 tbsp PB2

1 tsp good instant decaf coffee (no cheap stuff)
2-3 pumps (or one tbsp) sugar-free Hazelnut syrup

Directions:

Mix everything in a blender according to the Triple X Method. Or not. Your choice.

Add a poof of whippage (whipped cream). Or not. STILL your choice. Heck, you don’t even have to drink it cold. I know some of you like it hot! (Especially you…the one sitting in the computer chair…YOU like it hot).

Have it your way!
