Mint Mocha Protein Shake for the Holidays!
I love peppermint and this is the time of year my sweet tooth really gets me. Can you relate?
So I created this! A Mint Mocha Protein Shake you can enjoy without any holiday treat guilt.
A protein shake is a great option when you are on the run, need a quick and delicious meal and want to make sure to keep feeding your muscles. Research shows that using meal replacements once or twice a day can enhance weight loss, and continuous use helps people keep the weight off. That’s because meal replacements help control calories, provide accurate calorie counts and may prevent people from skipping meals and over-eating later in the day.
Our favorites are below but any good quality protein will work for the Mint Mocha Protein Shake. The recipe below uses chocolate protein, but vanilla is equally delicious.

A great blog also related to the holidays is: 5 Holiday Survival Strategies to Maintain or Improve your Weight. I’ll share the 1st two tips here:
- Stroll on: get your average step count to 7,200+ per day. 30 pounds ago Americans got 8-10,000 steps per day, and now we get just 3,000 per day. Nobody can be healthy (in mind or body) at 3,000, and nobody can eat so little as to maintain their weight at 3,000.
2. Pay attention: weigh yourself regularly so you know what’s happening sooner than later. It’s much easier to lose 3 pounds than 15, but you only know about those 3 pounds if you’ve tracked your weight.
