Put all the ingredients in a blender except the ice and whey protein, and blend well. Add the ice cubes and blend until smooth. Add the whey and blend for 10 seconds more.

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.
