Mocha Cookies & Cream Keto Smoothie

What’s better than cookies and coffee in the morning? A delicious cookies and cream frappe, that’s what. We combined creamy coconut milk, crunchy cashews, and energy-boosting coffee to provide natural, sustainable energy first thing in the morning, as an afternoon snack, or for dessert. Unlike fruit smoothies, which are loaded with sugar, this keto-friendly smoothie boasts only 5 grams of carbs. This frappe is also full of healthy fats from almonds, coconuts, and cashews.

• 2 tablespoons almond butter
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons cashews
• 2 scoops Whey Chocolate Protein Powder
