1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (I used Blue Diamond brand)
1 1/2 scoops vanilla protein powder (2 scoops = 1 serving of my protein powder)
1 cup frozen Raspberries**
2 tsp Unsweetened Baking Cocoa
1/4 tsp (+ a drop more) Almond Extract
A handful of ice
I put about 2/3 of the Almond milk in with the frozen raspberries and blend that first, then add the powders, then more milk, ice and extract.

This makes a LARGE glass. I like to use straws, and since my straws are small, this takes me about 20 minutes of continual sucking to finish. It's my new favorite snack!
**I freeze my own raspberries so I don't have added sugars or anything. When they are cheaper at the end of the summer, I stock up, and then wash, dry, and freeze. voila!

That looks good, and it's got to be sugar free? You must make this for me so I can sample it before buying a bag of protein powder. I'm amazed you can drink things like this in your physical state!
Alison - this really is good! I used the protein powder from the gym - the m'lis brand. It's has 0 carbs (it's a glycemic control/weight management kind). I hated the protein powder as just a shake, and the flavor is really hard for me to get over - but since I only use 1 1/2 scoops - it's not as bad. It's totally sugar free (except for the sugar in the fruit). This is almost as good as a Chocolate Almond Torte. ;) Come over one day, and I'll make you one!!
Looks and sounds delicious! :)
