Black & White
We’ll start basic here: why not mix together chocolate and vanilla? You’ve probably got them both on your shelf already. If you don’t, give THESE ones from Quest a try. They’re our favorite all-purpose powders. The macros are great, and they taste darn good too. Vanilla/Chocolate works for soft-serve doesn’t it? Well, it works even better in the blender. Cut the sugar & calories of all that sweet cream but keep that winning flavor combination in this protein-rich remix. Just two scoops, and this shake’s stacked with the good stuff: 46g of protein with only 4g Net carbs.Get the recipe here.
