Candy Cane Protein Shake: Refreshing All year round!

·

Well Hello, December! I am so excited to see you!! I love this month there are so many fun things to do and yummy things to eat. 😐

For me, nothing says Christmas like peppermint flavored goodness.

Every year I make this killer Candy Cane Brownie, that I distribute to my neighbors. It is my signature Christmas dish! We have more than a few neighbors, who were probably more bummed about not getting an annual plate of candy cane brownies, then our family actually moving away…Haha

No matter what time of year it is, this candy cane protein shake is always a refreshing treat! Add cocoa to make it chocolate peppermint!

Now that I have a big ooey gooey chocolate peppermint brownie on my brain with luscious peppermint filling and fudge frosting….(I am my own worst enemy sometimes when it comes to my fitness journey)

Let me get back to my super yummy candy cane protein shake, it is delightful! Its light, smooth, refreshing, a creamy! I crave it this time of year!

I dare say it is better than my Candy Cane Brownies… Just Kidding it’s not – come on you can’t beat full fat and sugar-filled goodness!

But is it better for my figure? Heck Yes! I’ll take the swap and come out the winner! Will I still indulge in some of my brownies… yep you betcha but those are a small indulgence and you can indulge in this creamy candy cane protein shake on the daily.
