A guilt-free, protein-packed holiday treat! Chocolate Peppermint Protein Smoothie to satisfy your sweet tooth this holiday!
Moving right along from all things pumpkin to peppermint with these Chocolate Peppermint Protein Smoothies to satisfy your sweet tooth through the Christmas Holiday!
I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving weekend– the boys had the whole week off from school so we headed to Arizona for the week to spend time with family. Guys–I stayed up way too late, ate way too much sugar, and definitely didn’t drink enough water. So this week, I’m focusing on drinking lots of water, eating lots of fresh fruits and veggies, healthy carbs, and when I need something sweet I’m whipping up one of these Chocolate Peppermint Protein Smoothies!
Made with a little extra protein using Horizon Organic cottage cheese and low fat milk! It’s no secret my family loves Horizon Organic, from their dairy products to mac and cheese, and snacks, my kiddos love it all!
Once the cottage cheese is blended in, I promise you won’t even know it’s there. And you’ll want to sip on this creamy (protein-packed) treat all season long.
It’s fun to add a little whipped cream and crushed candy cane for the kiddos too!
