Ingredients:
- Milk of choice – Use any milk or milk substitute you want here. Nut milk, or even a mixture of heavy whipping cream and nut milk, whatever you prefer.
- Sugar free sweetener – Use your favorite! You could opt for liquid sweetener (like stevia drops) or really anything you prefer. We love using Swerve granular or brown sugar Swerve if we have it on hand.
- Cream cheese – It might sound kind of strange, but we love using cream cheese in our smoothies. Especially when we are trying to replicate a cinnamon roll flavor, think of this like cream cheese icing. 😉
- Vanilla extract , ground cinnamon & kosher salt - To taste! Salt is optional, but we always add a bit of salt to anything we make, sweet or savory.
- Protein powder - You can use any protein powder you prefer here. We opted for Keto Vanilla Bone Broth Protein by Ancient Nutrition. You can use our affiliate code, 'AFullLiving20' for 20% off! It's so delicious and packed full of nutrients! We also love Isopure Zero Carb Whey Protein. Use your favorite brand.
- Sugar free maple syrup* - optional, but yummy! You can get 10% off on ChocZero's website using our affiliate code, 'AFullLiving' at checkout.
How to Make A Low Carb Cinnamon Roll Protein Shake:
Start by adding the milk or nut milk of choice to the blender, along with the cinnamon, peanut butter powder, salt and sweetener.
Add in vanilla extract, sugar free maple syrup, cream cheese, and protein powder.
Add the ice, then blend.
Pour into glasses, then top with (optional) whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon!
Tips For The Cinnamon Roll Shake:
- This shake is 5 net carbs per serving because of the brands we use. Please keep this in mind when tracking your own macros.
- You can use any milk of choice. We generally opt for a low carb whole milk by Fairlife or our favorite nut milk, like cashew or coconut milk.
- Add milk to reach your desired consistency. We used 8 ounces to achieve a more “thin” consistency, if you like it thicker, add less liquid, and more ice.
- You can use any nut butter you like in place of peanut butter powder. We like peanut butter powder because it’s low calorie, while being high in protein.
