Lower Carb Snickers Shake

Vegan Hot Cross Bun

 

When you think of a snickers shake, you probably imagine having to use your whole day's worth of macros. Most chocolate-bar-inspired shakes include tons of sugar, but with some small tweaks, you can enjoy a healthier (and dare we say, tastier), snickers shake that spares you some carbs (and adds some protein!).

Using a full serve of the unbeatable Ultimate Plant Protein by b Raw (Vanilla), you'll look forward to this rich, creamy and macro-friendly snickers shake on the daily. To keep it low sugar, we've left out banana, and recommend unsweetened almond milk. Make sure to choose natural peanut butter that contains no added sugars or nasties. If you really want to bring the cals down, opt for a powdered peanut butter - one serve is usually two tablespoons of powder with 1 tablespoon of water or dairy-free milk.

If you need to mix it up with your protein shakes, give this one a whirl and let us know what kind of recipes you'd love to see next!
