Shake Gone Nuts or Choco-Nuts (FP)

Are you crazy for peanuts? Do you find yourself with a peanut butter jar and a spoon when times get tough? If you go nuts for nuts, then this recipe is a sane approach to soothing your addiction. Unlike most high-caloric peanut treats, which carry obscene amounts of calories and the guilt that goes with them, this scrumptious nutty indulgence is decadently rich in taste, but not in abuse to your body, and it is completely lactose-free. This recipe is found in the "Shakes, Smoothies, Frappas, and Thin Thicks" section of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, page 411. This recipe is a single-serve recipe that makes about 1 quart.

Recipe Notes

S-Version of Shake Gone Nuts:

You can easily convert this to an S treat by adding 1 tablespoon natural-style peanut butter and sprinkling some chopped roasted peanuts on top. Delish—and you’re still not going overboard on peanut butter, just enjoying it wisely.

Special Note for our Turtles/Stubborn Losing and Allergen-free Mamas:

Those with elevated prolactin levels can omit the whey protein and use 1 to 2 scoops Integral Collagen instead. (Read the “Heads Up: Turtle Losers!” chapter in Trim Healthy Mama Plan for more about why elevated prolactin levels and whey protein are sometimes not compatible.) Allergen-free Mamas who cannot even tolerate whey protein (it is lactose free, so many do fine with it) can stick to the collagen and leave out any cottage cheese.
