I gave up eating ice cream in 2012 because I had a strong feeling it and a few other unhealthy food choices were holding me back from getting rid of the fat around my stomach.

I was sick of wearing girdles, holding my stomach in and muffin top around my waistline. I’ve worked out off and on my entire adult life but couldn’t ditch the mommy pouch and I knew it had to be connected to my gallon of ice-cream a month habit.

Giving up ice-cream was one of the hardest choices I ever made but I’ve recently found something that taste very similar to ice cream but is so-much-more healthier.

Strawberry Vanilla Protein Milkshake Recipe

To make this Strawberry Vanilla Protein Milkshake you MUST use Muscle Milk’s Vanilla Creme Protein. No other variety will do. I’ve tried the Sam’s club, Walmart and Publix brand and none of them come remotely close to the yumminess you get with Muscle Milk.

You’ll also need one cup of 2% milk, one frozen banana, a few frozen strawberries and some frozen peach slices.

1. First I add one scoop of Muscle Milk Vanilla Creme to the blender.

2. Next, I toss in my frozen fruit.

3. After that, I add pour in my cup of 2% milk.

4. Now I blend everything on high for about one minute of until everything looks mixed well.

At this point you can pop it in the freezer for ten minutes of enjoy it right away. It comes out of the blender thick and creamy just like a traditional strawberry milk shake.

This is one milk shake I can enjoy any time of the day and it doesn’t add unwanted fat to my waist line.
