Cinnamon Toast Flavored Protein Smoothie

This smoothie is thick like a milkshake, tastes like sweet cinnamon toast, and has a great amount of protein. It’s perfect for those with a sweet tooth looking to get a bit more protein in their diet. The taste is especially similar to a delicious morning breakfast. Something like cinnamon French toast or pancakes.

Cottage cheese may sound like a strange smoothie ingredient, but it works well. Cheese is made from milk and milk is a very common base for smoothies. Just try it, if you don’t like it you can try using yogurt, tofu or milk and heavy cream instead.

You can get less calories by using maple extract instead of real maple syrup and using fat free cottage cheese. On the other hand you can increase the calories by using something other than stevia as the sweeter.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
• 1 Scoop Vanilla Protein
• 1/2 Cup Cottage Cheese
• A Pinch of Nutmeg
• 3/4 Cup Water
• 3 Stevia Packets

Directions:

Put it in a blender, blend and drink.

Twists:

• You can use honey or even just cane sugar instead of Stevia.
• Try adding a pinch of pumpkin spice for a nice autumn flavor.
• Add 4 or 5 ice cubes for a colder and thicker shake.
• Add 1/2 tsp of xanthan gum to make it even thicker.

Nutrition Info:

The other ingredients add next to nothing in terms of calories and nutrition. They sure do make this cinnamon toast flavored smoothie delicious though.
