cheers! frozen hazelmint mocha

I have this milkshake mix, one of those that comes in the canister on the health food aisle, and I'm having a blast figuring out ways to "shake things up" (pun completely intended)! Be expecting several more posts with easy drink recipes. You can use any soy/whey protein, slimfast, or whatever nutritional drink mix you have. My grandmother swears by JuicePlus.

frozen hazelmint mocha

1 scoop chocolate shake mix
6-8 oz. milk or cold water
1 serving instant coffee granules - I use nescafe sticks, they have a coupon right now!
       *if you don't have instant coffee, substitute cold coffee for liquids
1 cup ice cubes
1 heaping spoonful nutella
1 piece hard or soft peppermint candy

Dissolve coffee granules in liquid. Pour half into blender, add shake mix, then add remaining liquid. Blend on low to dissolve, then add nutella, peppermint, and ice cubes. Blend on low, increasing speed as ingredients combine until ice is crushed to desired consistency. Top it off with a squirt of whipped cream or a soft peppermint stick.


Drink to your health!

Can you believe this is packed with protein?
