SALTED CARAMEL PROTEIN MILKSHAKE

When you're craving sweet and salty, look no further than this Salted Caramel Protein Milkshake! It's got creamy vanilla protein ice cream blended with pretzel bits and a caramel swirl inside the glass. Top with whipped cream for a fancy treat! 

NOTES: We used ChocZero sugar free caramel syrup, but you can use any thick caramel syrup. For the powdered sweetener, we recommend one that measures like sugar (not too sweet). You can even buy gluten free pretzels if you need to! For lower calories, fat and sugar, use unsweetened almond milk and Protizyme Vanilla Cake (won't be as creamy).

Salted Caramel Protein Milkshake

Makes 1 serving

Ingredients:

10 oz. + 2 oz. skim milk, divided

1 scoop Vanilla Milkshake MuscLean

1 tbsp. sugar free powdered sweetener

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

2 tbsp. sugar free caramel, divided

5 pretzels

2 tbsp. light whipped topping (optional)

Directions:

Combine 10 oz. milk with protein, sweetener, and vanilla in a sealed freezer bag. Shake and slosh with your hand on the counter until no dry clumps remain. 

Place your bag in the freezer for 8 hours or overnight until frozen solid. 

In a blender, add frozen bag contents and 2 oz. additional milk, blending until smooth (break up frozen contents if your blender needs help). 

Next, add 1 tbsp. caramel, and pretzels. Blitz a couple times just until combined. 

Drizzle the inside of a 12-14 oz. glass with remaining caramel, and pour in blended milkshake.

Top with whipped topping and enjoy!
