Protein Shake Recipes: Unicorn Protein Shake

I just had to make my own version of that darn Starbuck's Unicorn Frappuccino concoction that is all over my timeline. Now I'm not sure how the real deal tastes because it's like 39 grams of sugar for the tall which would be a ticket to dump city post weight loss surgery but I heard from a pal that it tastes like a cross between Amoxicillin and Sweet Tarts. Umm no thanks. My version is a yummy fruity concoction, no added sugar and it's protein packed too. Mmm magical.

Shelly's Sugar Free Unicorn Protein Shake

8 oz. Milk (any)
1 packet/serving of Protein Powder (I used Celebrate Vitamins Wildberry Protein 20)
1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Raspberry Torani Syrup
1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Strawberry Torani Syrup
1-2 Tablespoons Frozen Blueberries 
a few cubes of Ice

Whiz on high in blender. I topped it with No Sugar Added, Homemade Whipped Cream and a sprinkle of magical unicorn dust... aka Strawberry & Blueberry Freeze Dried Fruit Powder. I made the Freeze Dried Fruit Powder by tossing freeze dried, no sugar added fruit into a coffee grinder 

Note: Must use freeze dried (crispy) not dehydrated or dried fruit (chewy.) It's sort of like Astronaut Ice Cream texture if you remember that. I found freeze dried fruit at Trader Joe's, if you don't have a TJ's here's an online source or sometimes camping supply stores have them too. 

Shelly's Homemade No Sugar Added Whipped Cream

1 cup Whipping Cream
1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Torani Syrup (any flavor will do) 

Whisk till well combined. Every batch I make a new flavor: SF Vanilla, SF Coconut, SF Almond, if you want pink cream Sugar Free Raspberry is great. Fill whipping cream to the fill line of the whipper. Screw on the top. Insert the CO2 cartridge till it empties, unscrew that. Put the nozzle on, shake a few times and squirt away. It makes a ton, store it in the fridge for up to 10 days just give it another few shakes before squirting. Great on berries, shakes and smoothies, protein cake. You can make chocolate whipped cream too just add unsweetened cocoa powder 2 Tablespoons to recipe above and into the whipper.
