Protein smoothie turned decadent treat? I think yes.

I’ve been really into smoothie drinking ever since I started my recipe creation partnership with Designer Whey (through FitFluential) about eight months ago. Each month I create four recipes for DW, two of which are smoothies (yes, I am compensated). They sent me about eight giant jugs of Designer Whey Protein Powder to work with, so I literally put it in everything.

To top the smoothie,  I made homemade whipping cream, by simply whipping cream with my hand mixer. Then, I shaved some dark chocolate on top for a little more OOMPH!

    Hi, I had stomach surgery a week ago and as part of my recovery liquid diet I have to have protein shakes and similar. Well I just followed your recipe (although I’m in the UK and can’t get the DW protein powder, so I substituted half a sachet of Nestle Build Up Chocolate) and holy moly, it’s incredible. I absolutely love it. Thanks so much for inventing and publishing this!

    A while ago we tried to make peppermint ice cream with a “peppermint flavour” and it was rubbish, this time we bought real peppermint extract and boy what a difference.

    Thanks so much, your recipe is making my month long fluid only diet easier 🙂

    I am not a fan of protein shakes. I do not like smoothies at all. I think its a texture thing. Not real sure! I have Whey vanilla protein. Not sure what to do with it. Do you have any suggestions? This Dark Chocolate thin mint sounds really good. But I am afraid to spend the money on Chocolate protein and only use it once, like I have the vanilla.

    Made the Choco-Mint smoothie, but used fresh mint (about ten big leaves) in place of the extract. Gave it a fabulous – and very minty – zing!
    Super yummy – thanks.
