If you’ve ever had a smoothie, then you know how positive they can be for your body. Smoothies are very good at getting the precious vitamins and minerals from the food into your body, but sometimes you just want something that tastes really good and is super fun to eat! The types of smoothies you can make aren’t limited to just fruits and veggies, and there are smoothies that can be both healthy and delicious, so this article has been prepared to get you to try these 3 dessert smoothie ideas.
High Protein Cookies N Cream Milkshake
Just because you want to be healthy doesn’t mean that the treats have to be bitter. You’ll be shocked at how amazing this smoothie can be. A similar drink from a fast food restaurant would have more than 3 times the sugar. The only part of the shake that is less than healthy is the cookies, as it calls for a stuffed chocolate cookie, but you can probably find a low sugar or low-fat alternative. It should also be noted that you want to use a salt free version of the cottage cheese. This recipe will make enough for 2 servings you can share with a friend.
