This Peppermint Mocha Smoothie is an easy, healthy snack to fuel up after your workout. My husband and I have been following a low carb diet since mid-March in an effort to eat healthier and just be more aware of what we are eating. I am down 20+ pounds with about 10-15 more to go. Since being on a low carb diet one of the things I’ve really missed was my morning smoothies. I almost always used milk and a banana as a base to all of my previous smoothies so I had just kind of written them off entirely while eating this way. Two weeks ago I started the 21 Day Fix and I was needing something quick and easy to fuel me after the workouts.
At the beginning of this way of eating I had bought a few low carb items from Amazon as recommended by a few groups on Facebook. One of them was the protein powder listed below that had been sitting in my cupboard until last week. I discovered that I can get creative with the ingredients and still enjoy my post-workout smoothies like this Blueberry Cobbler one. I use the silk brand unsweetened cashew milk. This peppermint mocha is my most recent creation. Stay tuned for more in the coming days and weeks because one thing about me is I love a variety and hate to eat the same thing every day! With the ingredients, I used it comes up to 6 net carbs and keeps me full until lunchtime.
