MOCHA PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

MOCHA PROTEIN SMOOTHIE
1 scoop whey protein powder, chocolate flavor (1/3 cup) *
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 1/2 cups chilled coffee
1 tablespoon heavy cream
4-6 tablespoons Da Vinci sugar free syrup, any flavor
1/4 cup granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
Ice cubes

In a small bowl, stir together the protein powder and xanthan gum. Pour the water, cream, syrup and sweetener into a blender. Blend for a few seconds. Add the protein powder and blend briefly. With the blender on the highest speed, start feeding ice cubes, one at a time, through the top of the blender until the drink is very thick. Adjust sweetener, if necessary.

Makes 1 serving

* The carb counts for this recipe are based on whey protein powder that has 3 carbs per scoop (1/3 cup).

With granular Splenda:
Per Serving: 260 Calories; 7g Fat; 36g Protein; 14g Carbohydrate; 4g Dietary Fiber; 10g Net Carbs

With liquid Splenda:
Per Serving: 236 Calories; 7g Fat; 36g Protein; 8g Carbohydrate; 4g Dietary Fiber; 4g Net Carbs

This makes 2 tall glasses. You could cut the carbs in half by only drinking 1 glass. I strongly suggest that you do use the xanthan gum in this recipe. It thickens it by suspending the crushed ice and lots of air bubbles. Without xanthan gum, you'll end up with more like a slushy where the ice ends up in a big icy chunk in the glass.
