• 28 g (55 ml) fresh raspberries, or frozen
• 1⁄4 tsp vanilla extract 1⁄4 tsp stevia drops
• 60 ml (25 g) whey protein isolate (unflavored)
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder 240 ml ice cubes
• 60 ml heavy whipping cream or coconut cream (optional)

Instructions

1. Place the almond milk, cream cheese, raspberries, vanilla extract, and stevia drops into a blender and blend until mixed.
2. Add the protein powder, cocoa powder, cream (if using) and ice. Blend until smooth. Serve and enjoy.

Protein powder

You can also use vanilla flavored whey protein powder in place of the unflavored whey, stevia and vanilla extract. Ensure the protein powder uses natural flavoring and Diet Doctor-approved sweeteners.

Tip

For a more filling smoothie, add one tablespoon of coconut oil or any other healthful oil. You may also substitute the whipping cream for 1⁄4 cup Greek yogurt. If so, add a little water for a more liquid consistency.
