Front Porch Tip
Using mostly almond milk with just a splash of coffee gives this shake a subtle mocha flavor without overpowering the peanut butter and chocolate. Even if you don't normally drink coffee, it simply enhances the chocolate flavor.
Why I Love This Shake
There are days when medications like Ozempic or Mounjaro make eating a full meal difficult. This shake is one of my favorites because it's easy to drink, keeps me full, and delivers over 30 grams of protein without a lot of carbohydrates. It tastes more like a dessert than a protein shake, making it an easy way to stay on track.
