Chocolate Peppermint Protein Shake

Check out this seasonal take on a Nutrisystem shake! Packed with peppermint flavor and plenty of protein, this delicious drink is sure to delight your taste buds this holiday season. Whether you’re looking for a healthy snack or a winter-inspired dessert, our Chocolate Peppermint Protein Shake recipe will help you satisfy your sweet tooth without falling off your weight loss plan!

Winter is almost here and we’re trading our pumpkin spices lattes for peppermint goodness. Using a Chocolate Nutrisystem Shake Mix, you can enjoy the flavor of the season with just a handful of simple additions.

To make this holiday protein shake, grab your blender and combine a serving of Nutrisystem Chocolate Protein Shake Mix with a half-cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, four ounces of brewed coffee or water, one cup of ice, a quarter-teaspoon of peppermint extract and one teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. (The coffee will add another layer of flavor that turns this drink into a peppermint mocha protein shake, while the water will let the chocolate and peppermint shine.

Once your shake is smooth and creamy, divide it equally among two glasses and top each with two tablespoons of whipped cream and a garnish of crushed peppermint candies. Finally, grab a straw and enjoy!

This peppermint shake recipe makes two 88-calorie beverages. If you’re on the Nutrisystem program, you can count each serving as half of a PowerFuel and one Extra.

Not a fan of chocolate shakes? You can easily swap in the Nutrisystem Vanilla Protein Shake Mix and omit the unsweetened cocoa powder. This adjustment makes the recipe taste like the vanilla peppermint milkshake from your favorite fast food joint!
