Healthy Chocolate Muscle Milk
Okay, I admit it. I used to drink Muscle Milk. You know, those ready-to-drink shakes advertising 20 grams of protein, vitamins and minerals?
Yeah, they have protein, and yeah, they have some added nutrients, but are they 100% healthy? No, they are artificially flavored and contain quite a bit of that fake sugar, sucralose. So I made a healthy replacement! And did I mention that this Healthy Chocolate Muscle Milk is 100% good-for-you?
A thick and creamy shake that is… wait, what did you say? LOW CARB?!? Yup! For the first time on Desserts With Benefits, a low carb recipe. So you can drink this luscious chocolate drink and not have to worry about added sugars (or fake sugars).
Is it just me, or is that a bite of delicious chocolate staring you down? And how lovely, it’s within arms reach… from ME!
Hah, sorry to torture you, maybe you can try grabbing it from the screen? Okay, okay, I’ll stop. This isn’t one of Willy Wonka’s inventions! Ah, if only Wonkavision did exist…
This 5-ingredient Healthy homemade Chocolate Muscle Milk can be made in just a few minutes flat!
Unlike the store-bought kind, which has a whopping 40 ingredients on their label!
