Hi everyone, this is Jillian Beck.
Welcome to my kitchen.
Today I'll be showing you my new favorite protein shake recipe
which is a protein Frappuccino.
Now, I know it's pretty simple.
It will take 2 minutes to make but we're always looking for,
you know, new, delicious protein recipes--protein shakes because
we--as you and I both know, we probably have
a protein shake every day.
And so this one I think is great because a lot of people
love to go to Starbucks.
They love their Frappuccino and this is, to me,
if not just as good, it's better.
So I love this new--new protein shake that I've come up with.
The secret ingredient is PB2.
I've done instant coffee in the past in my shakes
and then recently just added a tablespoon of the PB2
and it was mind blowing.
So I'm really excited to show you this.
What you're gonna need is your vanilla protein powder.
Now I use whey isolates.
It's the leanest in terms of macros, very clean.
I love BB.com whey isolate so check it out.
And we're gonna go with that and then we need 1 tablespoon of our
PB2, which if you haven't heard of this, you need to get it.
Two tablespoons of this stuff equals forty-five calories,
only one point five-- did I read that right?
One point five grams of fat.
So it's a great alternative if you love peanut butter but don't
need all the fat and the calories.
So we've got that.
We've got our instant coffee.
You could also use like expresso grounds, which is an awesome
flavor and kind of gives it like a grittier texture
but it's really good.
So you can do that as well.
And then some almond milk and then water and crushed ice.
So we'll start with our protein.
We'll go ahead and we'll had 1 tablespoon of the PB2.
Just go ahead with that.
Then 1 teaspoon of our instant coffee.
I just got Nescafe but any brand will really do.
So go ahead with that.
And then a splash of almond milk.
You don't really measure but usually it's about a fourth
a cup or a splash, I don't know.
It's not a whole lot so just to add kind of
like a creamy texture.
Based on your macronutrient needs, you can add a full cup
if you wanted.
I always go with unsweetened vanilla.
A full cup of this stuff equaled 30 calories so I mean it's--
if you want a full cup, it's totally fine but I'm just doing
a splash and then I'm adding water and a bunch
of crushed ice, which is key.
So I'm gonna go over here and add that.
All right, so we've got our protein, PB2, instant coffee,
almond milk, water and crushed ice.
We'll go ahead and put the top on that and I use the magic
bullet just because I love that it makes
individual protein shakes.
I use it once or twice a day so just gonna use that
to blend this bad boy up.
So.
Okay, and there we go.
You have to check out the consistency of this 'cause
it's so frothy and amazing and absolutely delicious.
And I put a straw in there, drink it like it's a Frappuccino
but to me it's better.
I've got my protein.
It's under probably 150 calories because the whey protein's so
lean and then you just got a splash of almond milk.
No calories in the instant coffee and then only
1 tablespoon of the PB2.
So you're well under 150 calories, plenty of protein,
very low carb, if any, from your protein powder
so you're set to go.
I hope you guys enjoy.
