Chocolate Almond Protein Shake

I threw these ingredients together one morning and our forever protein shake was born. That ever-so-subtle flavor of coffee makes this the perfect morning drink, afternoon pick-me-up or late night dessert.

Yields2 ServingsDifficultyBeginnerTotal Time5 mins
Ingredients
 Organic Unsweetened Almond Milk - 1 cup
 Organic Heavy Cream - 1 tbsp
 Chocolate Protein Powder - 1 scoop (see Notes)
 Maldon Salt Flakes - 1/2 tsp + more for serving
 Coffee Extract - 1 tsp
 Smooth Almond Butter - 2 tbsp (see Notes)
 Xanthan Gum - 1/4 tsp
 Ice - 2 cups
 Cacao Nibs
 Whipped Cream (optional)
Special Equipment
 High Powered Blender
1

Prepare the shake:
Add all of the ingredients minus the cacao nibs and whipped cream to the blender jar, secure the lid and blend on high until smooth.

2

Serve the shake:
Pour into 2 insulated glasses and sprinkle some cacao nibs and salt flakes on top along with maybe a generous dollop of whipped cream. Serve with a sundae spoon or straw and enjoy!

Notes:  My all-time favorite chocolate protein powder is Dr. Gundry's Proplant Complete Shake but use your compliant favorite. Because the skins of almonds contain lectins, only use an almond butter brand that practices removing the skins in their preparation.
