The Best Snickers Protein Shake
Secretly one of my favorite candy bars is a Snickers bar. With all the delicious peanut flavor and decadent chocolate taste with a bit of caramel goodness, how could you go wrong? It is the perfect thing to squelch my sweet tooth.
But as I have learned more about our food and its quality, I have shied away from overly processed foods and tried to stick with less processed and more whole foods.
That being said, a girl is still gonna crave those flavors that comforted her through much of her adolescence and early Mom years. I have many vivid memories of myself hiding in the bathroom with a snickers bar while my children were sticking their fingers under the bathroom door, quizzing me as to what I was up to. Sometimes we Moms just need a freaking break.
So last time those cravings hit, I created this healthier Snickers protein shake recipe to help me curve my cravings and get in some much-needed protein my body needs. Protein is an essential building block in creating lean muscle and aids in muscle recovery.

Without fail, I always receive emails asking me what protein shake brands I recommend, and for good reason! There are a lot of sketchy products and brands out there that have artificial growth hormone rBST in their products, artificial flavor, and
other ingredients it is best for you to shy away from. The powders listed below are made with healthy ingredients, and when you read the nutritional information, you will recognize the ingredients listed (always a win in my book)
