    If you are looking for something really yummy and DIFFERENT! Try this for late night chocolate cravings...I use it when I'm about to drive to the store for peppermint patties

    1 cup Skim milk (or whatever milk you drink...almond, rice etc.)
    1 cup ice
    1 scoop CHOCOLATE protein powder
    1 tsp MINT extract
    1 packet of splenda or whatever sugar substitute you choose

    Baking extracts open up a whole new world with the blender and protein powder! LOVE IT!

    Mint or Peppermint extract? Mint has both spearmint & peppermint oils. It can kinda taste like toothpaste to me. So, I was wondering if you meant peppermint extract? This sounds really good.

    I love smoothies. I have one almost everyday for lunch, or dinner. Or a snack. Or just because....

    I usually have spinach, frozen raspberries, a splash of orange juice, almond/rice/soy milk (whatever I grab from the fridge), scoop of soy protein powder (Can't have whey) and 1-2 tbsp of ground flax seed, and water if I need more liquid.

    I don't have measurements for any of that because I guesstimate it. I think its around 1/2 cup spinach, 1 cup raspberries and 1 cup milk though.
