This thick , fruity, smooth protein shake is the perfect cool down for your post workout. Or as your breakfast. Or throw some rum in it and call it a happy hour!
My Caribbean martini I posted here was the inspiration for this protein shake. Something about summer makes me crave “fruity” drinks and the caribbean martini made me think of a frozen fruity drink which made me think of making it into a protein shake instead of an alcoholic drink because I wanted something without alcohol and I have some really good frozen alcoholic drinks coming soon. So here we are, 1 run-on sentence later, and we have this really delicious caribbean protein shake. Or smoothie. Whatever you want to call it.
I make these little index cards with the recipe for the drink I want to make and I draw a rough sktetch of the drink. Then I post it on a bulletin board. My son sees the cards on the bulletin board and always wants to have the cards but I tell him he can’t have it until I’m finished with it. He always asks me if he can taste the drink too and if it’s alcohol. So when he saw the card for a caribbean martini he asked if he could taste it and I said yes. So he was really excited for me to make it one day but when he tasted it he didn’t like it. I felt so bad because he really wanted to but you could just see the disappointment. I on the other had thought it was fantastic.
Here’s a little behind the scenes/photo bomb of my son “helping” me make/taste/photograph my caribbean protein shake.
