Ingredients for Candy Cane Milk Tea Protein Shake

To make this shake, you'll need only a few of the essential ingredients to capture that candy-cane-meets-milk-tea flavor profile. Here's what you'll need:

• 1 scoop Boba Nutrition Milk Tea Protein Powder
• This protein powder is integral to providing that authentic milk tea flavor while providing a solid dose of protein into the shake.
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• Almond milk keeps the shake light and low-calorie with its smooth base. Also, you might use whole milk or oat milk for an even richer taste.
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
• The peppermint extract gives it its candy cane essence. Be very cautious because this is a strong flavor; start with this amount, then add more to taste if needed.
• 1/2 cup of ice
• The ice makes the shake cool, refreshing, and just right for sipping on a cold day by the fire or post-workout.
• Whipped coconut milk and crushed candy canes (for garnish, optional)
• A dollop of frothered coconut milk and a sprinkle of crushed candy canes will upscale the presentation of this drink to. well, more holiday-ish.

Is this shake suitable for low-carb diets?
Yes, this shake can fit into most low-carb diets, since there's roughly 5 grams of carbs in each one. To keep carbs low, be sure to avoid adding sweeteners, and stick with unsweetened almond milk.

Since peppermint extract is optional, would the shake turn out just as great without it, or is it quite needed?
If you really aren't a fan of peppermint, you can skip it, but that's what gives the shake that really specific candy cane flavor. You can also replace it with a drop of vanilla extract to give it a creamy twist.

How long does this shake keep, refrigerated?
You can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours although best consumed fresh. If there is some separation going on, don't forget to shake well or stir before consuming.
