Anabolic Lifestyle: Low Carb Protein Smoothie

This is a recipe I came up with that tastes like a Protein Smoothie from a nearby smoothie shop where I live.  This is way cheaper, same texture and just as good!

Here is the base recipe:
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup water
2 servings of chocolate whey isolate
2-3 tbsp sugar free vanilla syrup
1/4 tsp xanthum gum
1 1/2 cups ice
*Blend until thick and smooth

Nutrition Facts:
268 Kcals
53 grams of protein
4.5 grams of fat
5.8 grams of carbs
4.8 grams of fiber
1 gram of Net Carbs!

2 tbsp of Natural Peanut Butter can be added to make the flavor taste like a Heath Bar and you get some healthy fats.  Keep in mind this changes the nutrition facts.  Any time you are looking for a healthy alternative to a desert then look no further than some low carb protein smoothies.
