Chocolate Chip Cookie Smoothie

I made this delicious recipe after my sister made a comment on how delicious my Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Smoothie is “super good”, but she’s not a fan of raisins.  I know that a lot of people like raisins, but there are a lot of people that don’t.  I had suggested to her that she subsitute dark chocolate chips in place of the raisins.  I tried it myself and am so glad I did!

It tastes like a chocolate chip cookie in smoothie form.  I could hardly believe that it is under 345 calories.  It was filling as all the smoothies I make are, because they have so much fiber from the high quality protein powder I use.  I don’t do gluten, I don’t do dairy anymore either, I don’t do fake sweeteners, I don’t do chemicals.  So, I’m really glad that I have found such a great protein powder that falls within those guidelines of mine.

Shaklee also has a protein that doesn’t contain any of the above mentioned things and there is a soy free option, but still has lots of high quality protein and fiber!  They do make a soy protein powder, which is delicious on it’s own.  But, I like to add things to my smoothies to make them even more fantastic, like my Chocolate Chip Cookie Smoothie!
