¼ teaspoon alcohol-free peppermint extract 1.2ml
½ cup natural vanilla whey protein powder 45g
1 tablespoon raw cacao nibs 7g

Notes

A note about substitutions: You could substitute casein for the whey protein in this recipe. Vegan proteins wouldn't be as creamy, but you might try a pea protein blend like Warrior Blend or Vega Sport. For a paleo version, replace the stevia with your preferred paleo sweetener.
