Ingredients:

2 tbsp. (1 scoop) Tera's Whey Bourbon Vanilla Whey Protein (or another vanilla protein powder with similar stats)

1 tbsp. sugar-free French vanilla powdered creamer

2 packets no-calorie sweetener


1/4 tsp. vanilla extract


1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1 1/2 cups crushed ice (about 12 ice cubes)

2 tbsp. light whipped topping (thawed from frozen)

Optional: 1/4 tsp. xanthan gum powder (like the kind by Anthony's)

Directions:

In a tall glass, combine protein powder, creamer, sweetener, and vanilla extract. (Add xanthan gum, if using.) Add 3 oz. hot water, and stir to dissolve.

Transfer mixture to a blender. Add almond milk and ice. Blend at high speed until smooth, stopping and stirring if needed.

Pour half of the blended drink into the tall glass. Top with whipped topping, followed by the rest of the drink.
