What's in your shake???

The Hulk

Ingredients:

• 2 scoops vanilla protein
• 1/2 tbsp sugar-free pistachio pudding mix
• 1 mint leaf or a few drops peppermint extract (optional)
• 1 few drops green food coloring (optional)
• 8 oz. cold water or low-fat milk
• 3-5 ice cubes

Directions:

Add all ingredients to blender, blend, and pour into cup. This tastes great without the mint so don't worry if you don't have it around. The shake is a light green even without the food coloring but if you want it green (like The Hulk!), you'll need a few drops.
