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.

2 cups of milk, preferably skim milk
6 stuffed chocolate cookies
